Commencement Day Speech Roundup

It’s that time of the year and kids are listening to someone try to give them some final words of wisdom before heading out into the cruel world after graduation.

This post is inspired by Joanne Christian, who heard St. Andrews’ alum Erin Burnett (now a reporter on CNBC) give the commencement address at the school this weekend. Her theme (quoting Joanne now): who gave an interesting “take” on the “moral obesity” of America/US. I’d like to hear more about that address, frankly. While there’s alot of hot air out there this time of year, there are people giving interesting and thought-provoking commencement addresses this year.

So use this post to tell us what addresses you may have heard and what — if anything — gave you something to think about.

Thanks Joanne!
