Dr. Rahm
President Barack Obama may have to travel to the Midwest to give the commencement speech at The University of Notre Dame, but his White House Chief of Staff need only walk a few blocks.
Rahm Emanuel will be this year’s commencement speaker at The George Washington University’s graduation on the National Mall this May. He will deliver the keynote address and receive an honorary Doctor of Public Service Degree.
More than 5,000 graduates from all GWU departments will hear Obama’s WHCOS deliver his speech on May 17.
Emanuel is a graduate of Sarah Lawrence University. While in Congress, he gave the commencement speech at National-Louis University in 2003.
