Star of the show
Posted in Irshaddering Thoughts, Announcements on May 12, 2009
How’s this for something cool: One of my star pupils, Kate Otto, has been selected as THE student speaker at NYU’s massive graduation ceremony on Wednesday. She tells me that “there will definitely be mentions of moral courage…”
I’ve blogged about Kate before. She’s a remarkable thinker and social activist who’ll soon be re-locating to Indonesia for a year. My ambassador to the world’s largest Muslim country has just been hired! (Her payment? A copy of the Indonesian translation of The Trouble with Islam Today.)
Also speaking at Wednesday’s ceremony will be Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. But you can bet that the show-stealer will be a young voice of moral courage.
Kate’s speech will be webcast LIVE from Yankee Stadium. Log on here around 11:15 Eastern Standard Time. If you want to catch the entire ceremony, get online at 9:30 am EST.
