Some people might find it surprising that prestigious American universities often invite celebrities to give their commencement speeches, especially when those celebrities may not have even graduated from college. However, there are several reasons why celebrities make sense as graduation speakers.

First, the United States has a strong culture of celebrity admiration, and many people look up to the rich and famous. Audiences especially enjoy hearing from those who have overcome significant challenges to achieve success. This reflects the idea of the American Dream, the belief that anyone can succeed through hard work and determination.

Additionally, inviting a well-known figure can bring positive publicity to the university and even attract future students. After all, who would not want to attend a college where Oprah Winfrey or Steve Jobs might speak at graduation?

That said, there are less cynical reasons as well. Celebrities often give more engaging and entertaining speeches than traditional academics. They tend to be strong storytellers and can be genuinely inspiring. Their presence reminds students that there is more than one path to success, and that taking risks or following an unconventional route can also lead to meaningful achievements.

While some universities may enjoy the attention that comes with celebrity speakers, the main goal is still to inspire and celebrate the graduating class. And who better to do that than someone who is both well-known and widely admired?
