President Obama will deliver commencement addresses this spring at the University of Michigan and Virginia’s Hampton University.

Michigan President Mary Sue Coleman said 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 that the president would also speak at the commencement of one of the nation’s military academies. Obama spoke last year at the U.S. Naval Academy ceremony.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss events that were not yet officially announced.
