Get ready for a Presidential graduation, Class of 2011: our source heard from a top NYU administrator that former President Bill Clinton will be NYU’s commencement speaker this year.
NYU spokesman John Beckman said, “I’m not going to confirm or deny.”
No stranger to NYU, President Clinton has spoken here a couple times in the past year.
President Clinton will be at Yankee Stadium two years after his wife Hillary spoke for NYU’s 2009 commencement. With all this Clintonness, we can reasonably expect that 2013′s speaker will be current Wagner PhD student Chelsea.
UPDATE (3/8): NYU finally confirmed today that Clinton will indeed be this year’s Commencement speaker.
