A former Arkansas governor and 2008 Republican presidential hopeful will headline Mississippi College’s spring scholarship banquet.

Mike Huckabee is set to speak at the fourth annual event, set for March 28.

“We consider (former) Gov. Huckabee, who attended Baptist colleges at the undergraduate and graduate levels and served as president of the Arkansas Baptist Convention, to be fully supportive of institutions like ours,” MC President Lee Royce said in a release announcing Huckabee’s visit to the Clinton campus. “We look forward to his remarks about America’s political scene and other timely topics.”
