Former Vermont Governor and DNC Chairman Howard Dean, at yesterday's Commencement Ceremonies at the University of Vermont, focused on the importance for new graduates to stay engaged in their communities, whether through service on a planning commission, city council, church vestry, or in other ways.
"Every single one of you has an obligation to stay involved in your communities," he said.
Governor Dean also made the interesting observation that the biggest mistake his generation made, after the activism of the 1960s and 70s was to "take a vacation from politics."
