Pelosi choice should come as no surprise

ByReview Staff

As no doubt many of you were, I was pretty disgusted by the announcement that Nancy Pelosi will be this year’s convocation speaker.  (Thank God I’m graduating 2011!)  But after a little googling, this is par for the course for Cornell.  Here’s the list of convocation speakers since the 2000 ceremony:

2010 Nancy Pelosi
2009 David Plouffe
2008 Maya Angelou
2007 Soledad O’Brien
2006 Martin Luther King III
2005 Wesley Clark
2004 Bill Clinton
2003 James Carville
2002 Danny Glover
2001 Janet Reno
2000 Chuck Schumer
