We're thrilled that Issa Rae, '07, will be the Commencement speaker at Stanford's undergraduate ceremony on Sunday, June 13!

“We asked @issarae to be our Commencement speaker because she embodies the courage, strength and resilience that the Class of 2021 has demonstrated not just during this senior year in a pandemic but during our entire Stanford career,” said Class of 2021 Senior Class Presidents Johnathan Bridges, Celine Foster, Virginia Miller, Jordan Oakes and David Pantera, who worked with the President’s Office to select the undergraduate speaker. “Her life journey – a story of immigration, discrimination, passion, activism, determination and success – will be a much-needed and very appreciated inspirational narrative as we begin the next chapter in life. We’re so incredibly lucky and excited to welcome Issa back to Stanford!”

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the ceremony at Stanford Stadium will only be open to graduates and their invited guests, but it will also be livestreamed on Stanford's YouTube and Facebook pages.
