WESTWOOD : Clinton to Speak at UCLA 75th Anniversary Ceremony
President Clinton has accepted an invitation to deliver the keynote address in a May 20 event celebrating UCLA’s 75th anniversary, school officials announced Tuesday.
Clinton will appear during a 90-minute, invitation-only convocation at the Westwood campus before receiving the UCLA Medal from Chancellor Charles E. Young, who is marking his 25th year as head of the school.
Young said in a statement Tuesday that school officials are “extremely proud and honored” that Clinton has agreed to attend, adding that the President has “made support of education a cornerstone of his presidency and we look forward to hearing his vision for the future at this important milestone in UCLA’s history.”
Princeton University President Harold T. Shapiro will also make a speech offering congratulations on behalf of UCLA’s “peer institutions,” the school announced. A site for the on-campus gathering has yet to be determined.
