I think we had president Rawlins at ours. He talked for like 15 minutes at best. Yay December commencements!

Heck, mine was in August 2001. I seem to recall the speaker was the Dean of the Library Sciences School. He was actually rather funny and kept it short.

UNT can do a big commencement speaker now due to the commencement changes. Everyone now graduates at the same time out at Apogee on Saturday night. This hopefully will be the first of many big speakers in the future.

We used to have a single commencement speaker and then separate "walk across the stage" ceremonies. When I graduated in 1987 the speaker was H.Ross Perot.

"Higgins also threatened Aspen Ambulance paramedics and attempted to bite one who was attempting to bandage a cut on his nose"

I take calling this guy a spare back.
