Topic:  Who was your commencement speaker? Author Message The Optimist General User Member Since: 3/16/2007 Location: CLE Post Count: 5,567 Status: Offline     Who was your commencement speaker?    Posted: 9/23/2021 8:27:57 PM  I figured this would be a fun/interesting thread for OHIO graduates. The speaker at my commencement (spring 2012) was Nancy Cartwright. She is best known as the voice of Bart Simpson from the Simpsons TV show, but as she demonstrated during her speech she had voiced a number of recognizable cartoon voices over the years. I thought she did a good job. She is an OHIO graduate. Sidenote: I believe that Wesley Lowery graduated in my class and he ended up being a commencement speaker himself not too many years later. Who was your commencement speaker? I've seen crazier things happen.

Who was your commencement speaker? Class of 2005...no idea who our commencement speaker was. I want to say...some sort of poet?

But, I do remember who my high school graduation speaker was -- author Jesse Stuart. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_Stuart The only BLSS Certified Hypocrite on BA "It is better to be an optimist and be proven a fool than to be a pessimist and be proven right."

Fell asleep as the speech was riveting.

He told us he'd personally come to our homes and yell at us if we didn't vote in the upcoming election.

I had lunch with him and criticized him for not mentioning where he went to school more. President McDavis cringed when I brought it up.

Surprisingly the stooges running whatever is left of SI now haven’t purged it yet. https://www.si.com/more-sports/2008/06/16/commencement Back to Top giacomo General User Member Since: 11/20/2007 Post Count: 2,689 Status: Offline     RE: Who was your commencement speaker?    Posted: 10/7/2021 12:14:33 AM  Malcolm Forbes 1981 Back to Top IceCat76 General User Member Since: 12/5/2016 Location: Byfield, MA Post Count: 267 Status: Offline     RE: Who was your commencement speaker?    Posted: 10/7/2021 10:26:23 AM  Jacqueline Wexler - President Hunter College I fell asleep. It was typical mid-70s Ohio low self esteem to invite another school's president.
