Apple CEO Tim Cook will be this year’s Commencement speaker. That’s pretty cool, IMO.
For anyone who hasn’t watched the Ellen DeGeneris speeches from 2006 and 2009, they are amusing:
Just for giggles, here are the speakers for the last 25 years or so: Jesmyn Ward, Helen Mirren, Hoda Kotb, Maya Rudolph, Wynton Marsalis, His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, Lisa Jackson, Thomas Friedman, Anderson Cooper, Ellen DeGeneres, James Carville and Mary Matalin, Brian Williams, President George H. W. Bush and President William J. Clinton, Michael Lewis, John Breaux, David Halberstam, William Safire, Marian Wright Edleman, Walter Isaacson, Cokie Roberts, Janet Reno, Art Buchwald, Vernon Jordan, Ralph Nader, Andrew Young, Tom Brokaw
Art Buchwald was the commencement speaker at my college graduation many, many, MANY years ago!
Bumping this topic. Always fun to hear snippets of commencement speeches…
Commencement is an exciting milestone!
