Yale’s Class Day Speaker Announced And We’re A Little Jealous

Posted by Michelle Nguyen on March 2, 2010 at 5:42 pm

And it’s no other than the 42nd President of the United States, Bill Clinton.

The Yale Daily News article just went live.

Who did Harvard get? CNN’s chief international correspondent and anchor, Christiane Amanpour. I think the fact that I had to check the Harvard Gazette article twice to get her name right says something. Yes, I’m ignorant, but I also came from a communist country in Asia and now live in a dorm with no cable! Granted, Clinton attended Yale Law School and has come back to speak twice in the past ten years, once in 2001 and again in 2008, so it’s not that hard for them to get him. However, it is still pretty undeniable that his name creates way more buzz than Amanpour’s. And if Facebook is any indication, way more excitement in the student body. (It’s BILL FRIGGIN’ CLINTON! OMG!)

Make of that what you will. As for me, I’m booking my bus ticket to New Haven. I might get killed and stuffed in a wall (especially considering the fact that I’m of the same height, stature and ethnic origin as Annie Le), but the risk is worth it.

P/S: Maybe Harvard should go ahead and get Lady Gaga next year. Noice will be very happy. Will you?
