I've heard a lot of commencement speeches, working on a university campus, but Jane Lynch delivered one of the best. Genius!

[@annieclimb]

my commencement speaker was Carl Sagan. All I remember is "...billions, and billions, and billions...." Smithies, this is a great commencement speech that you can get something from every day of your lives. I'm so proud my daughter is Smith 2007. She is awesome.

(b) My commencement speaker was George W. Bush.
Smith FTW.

[@thebatmanover9000]

Jane Lynch comes off as a little bossy.

[@Flagstaff434]

I think the Wellesley High School Commencement speech was far more realistic.........not as funny, but far more realistic.
