WASHINGTON (WUSA9/AP) - The White House says President Barack Obama will deliver his final commencement speeches as president at Rutgers University, Howard University and the Air Force Academy.
The president typically delivers just a few graduation speeches every year, including one to a service academy. Last year, he spoke to graduates of Lake Area Technical Institute in Watertown, South Dakota, and the cadets of the Coast Guard Academy.
The White House says Obama will address the graduating Air Force cadets in Colorado Springs on June 2.
His May 7 commencement speech at Howard will be his third at a historically black college or university. They said he is the sixth sitting president to deliver the commencement speech at the university. The President will also receive an honorary doctor of laws degree during the ceremony.
Howard University will award more than 1,300 bachelor degrees to graduates.
Obama's May 15 speech at Rutgers University's New Brunswick, New Jersey, campus will celebrate the university's 250th commencement anniversary.
