The convocation committee announced last night that Gen. Wesley Clark will be the convocation speaker during the class of 2005 commencement weekend.

"We wanted somebody who was going to step beyond a narrow political message and who is going to be able to speak to the challenges our class is going out to face in the world, both nationally and internationally," Blake said. "We think Wesley Clark really fits that role, as both a renowned figure but also as a statesman, as a humanitarian and as an all-around good person."

The committee asked for student opinions on the type of speaker they wanted in an email sent out to rising seniors at the end of the last academic year.

According to the convocation committee, Clark will be awarded the 2005 Convocation Medallion during the ceremony in recognition of "his life-long drive as an educator, leader, and humanitarian." The convocation will be on Saturday, May 28 at noon in Barton Hall and is open to graduates and their families only. Seating is on a first-come-first-serve basis.
