2009 Commencement Speakers

<p>President Obama is speaking at Arizona State U, which has a tradition of not handing out honorary degrees. I did hear, however, that they are going to start a scholarship in his name instead, which I think if funded well will have longer lasting effect than an honorary degree does.</p>

<p>Michelle Obama is speaking to the first graduating class at UC Merced. The students there started an email campaign to her, begging her to come.</p>
