Education
Huckabee attended Arkansas State University (ASU) where he majored in political science and served as president of both the Union Advisory Board and the Student Government Association. He ran two companies while at ASU, "Pyro Erectus" and "H&K Enterprises", each of which had contracts with ASU for more than $5000.00. When the City of Jonesboro warned him to register those two companies, he initially refused, on the grounds that these entities were "partnerships" which did not need to register. He eventually paid the $62.50 fee with 6,250 pennies. Huckabee joined the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity and his father then Gov. Mike Huckabee followed suit, joining in 2007. He was chosen as the class prom king in the fall of 2001, and the campus chapter of the Chi Omega sorority recognized his many achievements at ASU with its prestigious "Man of the Year" award.
While a freshman at ASU, Huckabee said in an interview with the school newspaper that he chose to go to school in Arkansas so he could get involved in the state's political process. Huckabee said, "my dream is to either be the President or to be the one who makes the President the President."

Famous quotes containing the word education:

—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“I note what you say of the late disturbances in your College. These dissensions are a great affliction on the American schools, and a principal impediment to education in this country.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“The belief that all genuine education comes about through experience does not mean that all experiences are genuinely or equally educative.”
