COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER ANNOUNCED

RANDY COHEN, New York Times columnist and Emmy winner, has been chosen as the 2008 Commencement speaker.

According to the Misc:

"Best known for his New York Times Sunday Magazine column 'The Ethicist,' Cohen is the recipient of four Emmy awards, three of which were for work with the Late Night with David Letterman show."

SPRiNKLES's Take: Though I won't be here for commencement, I think it's a great choice for two reasons: He's funny, and he has very interesting opinions. Gail Collins (former NY Times editorial chief) gave a speech earlier this year (the Alex Krieger memorial lecturer), and it was both hilarious and insightful. Hopefully, Cohen's will prove to be the same.
