CNN’s John Roberts will be the commencement speaker at the University of Colorado, Boulder May 8th. He’ll also speak at their separate journalism school commencement the day before.

“I sat in the stadium stands during last year’s commencement as my son graduated from CU so it’s a real honor to be asked to speak to both the class of 2009 and the school of journalism,” Roberts tells TVNewser. “I’m very excited about the opportunity to share some life experiences and impart whatever wisdom I can to the students as they set out on the new challenges facing them.”
