U.S. Vice President Joe Biden to deliver Syracuse University College of Law commencement address

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — U.S. Vice President Joe Biden will deliver the address at the Syracuse University College of Law commencement ceremony in the Carrier Dome on May 13.

It’ll be the fourth time that Biden has spoken to the College of Law’s graduating class, having delivered the commencement address in 1994, 2002, and 2006, Syracuse said in a news release posted on its website Tuesday.

He also delivered Syracuse University’s main commencement address in 2009, where he received an honorary degree from the university.
