at http://www.ncsu.edu, and through the university's YouTube channel. Nice, tight speak, under 15 minutes... very casual yet directed. He did a great job.

Also, the student address was given by James Hankins II, and is posted as well. He's a very gifted speaker, and was quite engaging.

Enjoy!

It could be worse...you could have had Erskine Bowles!

speak?

12/18/2008 2:05:08 PM

^^ Erskine wasn't that bad

Cower started off slow... he said "um" a lot early on. After that, it wasn't bad.

He failed miserably with the wolfpack hand signal. wtf?

12/18/2008 2:42:58 PM

Uh no.

People were booing Phil Donahue becuase he went off on the most left wing lunatic political speech ever. That's fine if you agree/disagree... but it had no place at a college graduation ceremony.

Even Mary Anne Fox was pissed at him.

Man I miss MAF
