Hunter College President Jennifer Raab will welcome 3,000 graduating students at the 2014 Hunter College commencement on Tues. May 27 at Radio City Music Hall.
Wynton Marsalis, internationally acclaimed musician, composer, band-leader, educator and Artistic Director for Jazz at Lincoln Center and Music Director for the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra will be the speaker. He was honored by Hunter College in 1995 with an honorary degree at Doctor of Humane Letters. This year, that honorary degree will be awarded to Eleanor Clift, journalist and author. Clift became one of the nation's best known and best-regarded political reporters during her 50-year career at Newsweek. Today, she covers politics for The Daily Beast and is widely recognized as "the determined voice of reason" on the combative political talk show, The McLaughlin Group.
