General Walter Zink

General Walter Zink Visit to Peru State College



On Thursday, November 6, General Walter Zink gave a talk to over one hundred members of the Peru State College community in the Live Oak Room.

Zink, a Lincoln Attorney and Former Adjutant General of Nebraska talked about "Ordinary People Doing Extra-Ordinary Things."

He talked about a wide range of topics, suggesting, among other things that students should pursue their dreams and take risks--but also that they should assume the responsibilities that come with citizenship in our country.
