“Don’t be a half-formed person,” said Bogdanos, who holds a degree in classics from Bucknell University, along with a law degree from Columbia University, a master’s in classical studies from Columbia and a master’s strategic studies from the Army War College.

Bogdanos was the keynote speaker at Opening Convocation which kicked off the new academic year at Linfield.
