Shilo Brooks joins the Bush Center
"I think that the Bush Center has a real opportunity to revolutionize the model of presidential libraries to engage young people, 7,000 of whom are on this campus, and to teach them and cultivate them and expose them to principles of statesmanship and character.

“I’ve seen the way that those things work to change a life. And so to come and be a champion for the values that this center stands for has meant a lot to me."
