LITTLE ROCK — Former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush will join dozens of scholars who've been focusing on topics ranging from immigration to veterans issues.

Graduation ceremonies are planned Thursday in Little Rock for the 59 Presidential Leadership Scholars. The event at the Clinton Presidential Center is not open to the public but will be streamed live at www.presidentialleadershipscholars.org.

A statement from the ex-presidents says the Moody Foundation Conversation will involve the 2018 class of scholars, including doctors, veterans, business leaders, lawyers, educators and others from across the U.S.

The scholars, for the past six months, worked together to learn about leadership through the presidential experiences of Clinton and Bush, plus former Presidents George H.W. Bush and Lyndon B. Johnson.
