A new class of Penn Staters will enter the alumni family this weekend after graduating from their respective college(s), though not everyone will choose to walk at graduation. Penn State announced the list of commencement speakers for each academic college’s ceremony as well as the dates, times, and locations spanning the weekend.

Penn State’s commencement speakers are, as always, lackluster compared to other universities of similar size and prestige. While each of this weekend’s speakers are respected in their own endeavors, none are household name celebrities like you might expect.
