Hillary Clinton will speak at the Yale University Class Day in the spring.
"When Secretary Clinton spoke at her Wellesley graduation in 1969, she told her class that their challenge was ‘to practice politics as the art of making what appears to be impossible possible.' The ‘impossible’ world Secretary Clinton imagined in 1969 is not yet won — yet it will be if our generation dares to emulate her life of resilient and courageous service," Class Day Co-Chair Josh Hochman ’18 said in a statement.
Clinton, the Democratic nominee for president in 2016, graduated from Yale's College of Law in 1973.
Class Day is a Yale College tradition that includes awarding of academic, artistic and athletic prizes on the Old Campus. The event includes an address by a notable speaker each year.
Clinton will speak at Class Day on May 20.
