(Muncie, Ind.) – Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb will be giving the commencement speech at Ball State University this year.
He will be the first Indiana governor to do so while in office.
“Ball State University has been inspiring students for 100 years, and I’m honored to speak to this historic Centennial graduating class,” Holcomb said. “As these students embark on fulfilling careers, I am excited to celebrate this major milestone in their pursuit of lifelong learning.”
The graduating class of about 3,200 students will hear from him on Saturday, May 4 at the Arts Terrace on the Muncie campus.
Ball State President Geoffrey S. Mearns said the school is grateful that the governor is coming to inspire graduates and their families.
“The Governor has supported higher education and Ball State during his time in office. We look forward to Governor Holcomb joining us as we celebrate this major achievement in the lives of our students,” said Mearns.
Holcomb's wife, Janet, is a Ball State graduate and longtime supporter of the school. She grew up on a horse farm near Muncie.
