Congressman Scott, a native of Newport News, VA, and 1969 Harvard College graduate, represents the third Congressional District of Virginia which includes portions of 16 cities and counties from Hampton Roads, Richmond, Essex County and Petersburg. His legislative interests cover several key concerns such as health care, education, national defense, job training, agriculture, at-risk children, and crime prevention. This year, an estimated 1400 graduates will participate in commencement exercises and in order to accommodate this large number, degrees will be conferred en masse by the President.
Admission is by ticket only.
