Due to COVID-19, graduation ceremonies across the country have been cancelled. Commencement is typically a landmark moment for graduates and their families. To create a memorable moment for graduates and their families, we're asking former President Barack Obama to virtually deliver a national commencement speech for the Class of 2020.
Why is this important?
This year's graduates are missing out on their long-awaited ceremonies. Today, the Class of 2020 is united by a feeling of uncertainty and separation. What better way to unite our graduates while they're apart than a national commencement speech? A commencement speech by Barack Obama would provide a memorable moment of hope.
