Obama To Deliver Commencement Speech At Air Force Academy

WASHINGTON (CBS4) — The White House says President Barack Obama will deliver a commencement speech at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs in June.

Obama will address the graduating Air Force cadets on June 2 in what will be his final commencement address at a college as president. He also addressed cadets in the Air Force Academy's 2012 commencement ceremony.

The president typically delivers just a few graduation speeches every year, including one to a service academy.

In addition to the Air Force Academy, this year Obama will also deliver commencement speeches at Rutgers University and Howard University. The Howard speech on May 7 will be his third at a historically black college or university.
