He arrived in Miami, soon accompanied by thousands of other Cuban children fleeing in exile. He found that relying on his foreign compatriots for advice and aid in adapting to life in a new country was key to success.

So when Elizabeth Chung, executive director of LIFE and Discovery, asked him to tutor young students, many of whom are immigrants, he said he could not refuse. Diaz teaches the math classes year-round at the educational nonprofit's offices in Frederick.

The George W. Bush Presidential Center is advancing the ideals of freedom, opportunity, responsibility and compassion through study of the Bush presidency and ongoing research, discussion and scholarship. The Bush Presidential Center uniquely integrates the records of a Presidential Library and Museum, the intellectual capital of a policy institute and the resources of an independent foundation.

The Bush Presidential Center will be set on the campus of a rising national university, in a major metropolitan city in the heartland of the country. It will be the focal point of George and Laura Bush’s continuing commitment to the ideals that are the touchstone of their public service.

SMU: Home of the George W. Bush Presidential Center http://smu.edu/bushlibrary/


Former President George W. Bush visits with students after speaking to a journalism class on April 29. Earlier in the day, he had lunch with SMU Hunt and President's Scholars.

As the George W. Bush Foundation continues working on plans for the former president's library, museum and institute, located at SMU, some students are already encountering him on campus.

In recent weeks, Bush has spoken to political science and journalism classes at the invitation of professors. SMU President R. Gerald Turner also invited Bush to have lunch with Hunt and President's Scholars, and Bush has held impromptu discussions and signed autographs for students in hallways and on campus. (Read more about his visits on Feb. 24 and April 29.)

"I have always wanted to meet him since he was the governor of Texas and now, thanks to SMU, I have had the opportunity twice this semester," said President's Scholar Jessica Pecena, a senior from Grand Prairie who, along with other student scholars, had lunch with Bush on April 29.

"My favorite part of the luncheon was when he asked what we were planning to do in the future. He seemed genuinely interested in us,” said Pecena, who is majoring in anthropology and psychology.
