Bill Clinton to Speak at UCLA June Commencement
The former President will deliver the keynote address at the UCLA College of Letters and Science commencement ceremony on June 13 at 5 p.m. in Pauley Pavilion. It’s quite a marked change from last year’s commencement speech, given by basketball legend and UCLA graduate Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
But don’t expect to get a ticket unless you have an inside source; the ceremony is closed to the public, with only graduating seniors in the College of Letters and Science and their invited guests permitted entrance. Around 3,000 graduating students are expected at the ceremony, with their guests expected to number around 12,000 people.
