First Lady Michelle Obama will address graduating students and their families at Dillard University’s 2014 commencement ceremony in May.
In a news release Thursday, the White House said that Dillard University was chosen because of "its legacy as one of America’s top historically black universities."
On the same day — May 10 — Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal will also deliver a commencement address at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. Liberty is a private Christian college founded by the late Reverend Jerry Falwell.
