The commencement keynote speaker is a notable figure selected to offer advice, reflections, and congratulations to motivate our graduating classes to share their knowledge and skills they learned at the University with the world.Since 1869, the University selects one distinguished Keynote Commencement Speaker speak to our graduating students. For the class of 2022, we were honored to have two keynote speakers – Dr. Naomi Caselli of Boston University for the graduate ceremony, and Tim Cook of Apple for the undergraduate ceremony.
