Oprah speaking at Skidmore's commencement
Oprah Winfrey is set to be the speaker at this year's Skidmore commencement May 20 at SPAC. (See Skidmore News story.) The college will be awarding an honorary doctorate up on her, along with two others...
+ Ann Rubenstein Tisch, founder of the Young Women's Leadership Network
+ Wes Moore, author, youth advocate, and Army veteran (maybe you saw him speak at the Sage Albany campus last fall)
The event will be livestreamed, according to Skidmore's commencement website.
So, what's the protocol for an Oprah visit? It's kind of like having the president visit, right?
As it happens, Winfrey has been to Saratoga Springs at least once before -- she made a quick visit in 2013 to have dinner with two graduates of her Leadership Academy for Girls in South Africa that were attending Skidmore. [Saratogian 2013]

We'd really like you to take part in the conversation here at All Over Albany. But we do have a few rules here. Don't worry, they're easy. The first: be kind. The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up.
