Steelers head coach Tomlin ('95) to deliver commencement speech

(Williamsburg, VA) – Pittsburgh Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin, a member of the Class of 1995, is scheduled to deliver the 2008 commencement address at the College of William and Mary on May 11, 2008.

Tomlin, who just finished his first year as coach of one of the National Football League’s most storied franchises will receive honorary doctorate of humane letters during the commencement ceremony at William and Mary Hall.

“As a young alumnus whose accomplishments belie his age, Mike Tomlin offers an inspiring example for our new graduates, and we look forward to hearing from him,” said W. Taylor Reveley III, interim president of William and Mary. “We’re thrilled to welcome Coach Tomlin back to his alma mater. We are also delighted to honor Rabbi David Ellenson for his distinguished career as a scholar, educator, and mentor. With these two extraordinary alumni returning to William and Mary, 2008’s Commencement promises to be a very special day for our graduates and their families.”
