I enjoy a good celebrity commencement / graduation speech as much as the next person, and thought it would be good to gather all of the ones I could find into one post. If you know of one I’ve forgotten, please post it and the URL in the comments and I’ll add it to the list.
Without further ado:
- Will Ferrell speaking at Harvard
- Jon Stewart at the College of William & Mary (?)
- David Foster Wallace’s speech at Kenyon University
- Steve Jobs at Stanford University
- Conan O’Brien speech at Harvard University
- Humanity.org has a great list of commencement speeches, including Toni Morrison. Bono, the Dalai Lama, and John F. Kennedy.
There’s gotta be more than just these available online - let me know if you find another.
