Ellen DeGeneres Brings the Wisdom to Graduation

Tue., May. 19, 2009 8:06 AM PDT by

So you know how everyone was graduating this past weekend? Well sure, Boston University got Steven Spielberg and Oprah was somewhere because she always pops up every graduation season dispensing all that wisdom she's collected.

But now that we've seen the video, we have to declare Tulane University for the graduation win this year. The New Orleans-based school invited Big Easy native Ellen DeGeneres as their commencement speaker, and she nailed it.

The resulting speech was funny, sweet, candid, inspiring—everything you need whether you're graduating from college or just want to get your morning started right. So enjoy the video, and then see what other famous people were out celebrating with the Class of 2009 in our Graduation Gallery.
