Obama to address Hampton U. and Michigan graduates
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama will deliver commencement addresses this spring at the University of Michigan and Virginia’s Hampton University.
Michigan President Mary Sue Coleman says in a statement that Obama will receive an honorary doctor of laws degree during commencement on May 1 at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor.
Hampton University President William R. Harvey says that Obama will speak to Hampton graduates on May 9.
An administration official said Thursday the president will also speak at one of the nation’s military academies. Obama spoke last year at the U.S. Naval Academy.
The official would only speak on the condition of anonymity to discuss events that were not yet announced.
