Rumor has it that GW's class of 2009 Commencement speaker will be Rahm Emanuel, President Barack Obama's Chief of Staff.
According to a source close to the selection process, WRGW was able to confirm tonight that this rumor is true.
While there has yet to be an official announcement from Knapp's office, we can expect it to be made in the coming weeks.
Prior to being designated as Chief of Staff, Emanuel was the Representative for Illinois's 5th district. Emanuel is noted for his strong Jewish heritage and candid moments. He graduated from Sarah Lawrence College and earned a masters in speech from Northwestern University. Emanuel also served as a senior advisor to former President Bill Clinton and in between stints in Washington, he worked as an investment banker.
WRGW will have more information as it becomes available.
