The university also announced the renaming of the center as the Warren B. Rudman Center for Justice, Leadership and Public Service 鈥� rather than Justice, Leadership and Public Policy 鈥� which aligns with the center鈥檚 mission to honor U.S. Senator Rudman鈥檚 legacy of championing work in the public interest and mentoring the next generation of public service leaders.

鈥淚 am thrilled to have the opportunity to help move the Rudman Center forward as we redouble our efforts to prepare students to enter public service. That renewed focus will help us better serve our students and embody the spirit of Senator Rudman鈥檚 distinguished career,鈥� Budd said. 鈥淚 want to thank Rich for his dedication and tremendous leadership.

I am especially grateful that we will continue to benefit from Rich鈥檚 involvement, as he has agreed to continue his partnership with us as a member of the center鈥檚 advisory board.鈥�
