PINEVILLE — Gov. Bobby Jindal urged graduates at two universities to dream big and travel the world — but come back to Louisiana.

“Dream big. Go where your dreams take you,” Jindal told students at Louisiana College on Saturday. But, he told them, like Dorothy in
“The Wizard of Oz,” they’ll find “there’s no place like home.”

“You can dream big right here in Louisiana,” Jindal said.

Jindal, the son of Indian immigrants, had a similar message Friday for students graduating from Southern University in Baton Rouge.
Southern, which graduated about 650 students, and Louisiana College, with 158, were part of a commencement tour for Jindal that was to include Our Lady of Holy Cross College’s ceremony today in Westwego, and Louisiana State University’s graduation on Friday.
