Why Students Deserve Better Commencement Speakers.

Recent Lincoln University graduate Chloe Foster argues that universities often focus too much on prestige and not enough on what graduates actually need to hear. She explains why she'd rather hear from an educator who knows students than a celebrity everyone recognizes, why commencement should leave graduates with something unforgettable, and how students deserve a greater voice in choosing the people who address one of the biggest moments of their lives.If you've ever wondered what graduation should really look like, this conversation will challenge your assumptions._______All opinions expressed by guests do not reflect the views of "I Love My HBCU?"
