MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Education Secretary Arne Duncan will deliver a commencement speech to University of Wisconsin-Madison graduates this spring.
The university announced Wednesday that Duncan will speak at the morning commencement on May 15 at the Kohl Center.
UW-Madison Chancellor Biddy Martin says it is an honor that a member of President Barack Obama's cabinet will speak to graduates. She says Duncan "is a dynamic and forward-thinking policymaker who is shaping American education for coming generations."
Before joining Obama's cabinet, Duncan served seven years as chief executive officer of the Chicago Public Schools. He is an outspoken advocate for fixing troubled public schools.
