> Vice President Joe Biden will speak to the freshest crop of Yale graduates this spring at a ceremony with a sense of humor to match his own, according to a report in the Yale Daily News <http://yaledailynews.com/blog/2015/04/07/biden-to-speak-at-class-day/>.
> 
> Biden will address the Yale seniors and their families on class day, a commencement-weekend event where graduates pair traditional gowns with over-the-top hats <http://news.yale.edu/sites/default/files/imagecache/video_photo_main/3%20Hats_0.jpg> of their own choosing. This year’s ceremony is scheduled for May 17.
> 
> “We chose Vice President Biden because of his resiliency, compassion and humor,” class day co-chair Akinyi Ochieng said in an email Tuesday night to the Yale senior class. “Vice President Biden continually approaches life with good humor and grace. These are qualities that we need as we enter the post-graduate world.”
> 
> Biden, who earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Delaware in 1965 and a law degree from Syracuse in 1968, will be the third consecutive high-profile Democrat to address Yale’s class day. Secretary of State John Kerry spoke to graduates last year and New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, then the mayor of Newark, did so the year before that.
> 
> While both Kerry and Booker have degrees from Yale, Biden’s lack of an Ivy-League pedigree is not a first for the ceremony. Barbara Walters, a Sarah Lawrence College grad, spoke at Yale’s 2012 class day, while Tom Hanks, an alumnus of California State University-Sacramento, did so in 2011.
