Mr. Cuccinelli earned a degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Virginia, a master’s degree in International Commerce and Policy from George Mason University, and his juris doctor from the George Mason University School of Law and Economics. After working in private practice, Mr. Cuccinelli served as a State Senator between 2002 and 2010, and then was elected Attorney General of Virginia and sworn into office in January 2010. “We look forward to having Mr. Cuccinelli speak to our Covenant graduates as they move into college and beyond,” remarks Covenant Headmaster, George Sanker. “His experience is impressive: private attorney, State Senator, Attorney General (where he currently oversees an office of more than 300 attorneys and staff), and candidate for Governor of Virginia in 2013. Our graduates are fortunate to have the opportunity to gain insight about life in public service from Attorney General Cuccinelli.”
