Ditto about Michelle's speech being quite impressive and indisputably "eloquent."
Congratulations, Michelle W. Kwan (Dr. Kween!).

Email that I received tonight -
From: Karen Gross, J.D.
President, Southern Vermont College
Michelle's commencement address should be up tomorrow -- in two parts: Part I and Part II. Watch for it! And, she was wonderful -- wait til you listen.There is nothing more captivating in this world than a woman's form gracing the ice in skating boots. It's simply sensational!

Have there been other skaters to receive honorary degrees like Kwan?

Just being asked to deliver the speech and being awarded an Hon D for someone under the age of 30 is a huge honor.
Your program sucks and your partner just fell: lay down and play dead or think Feck this and do a Th3A at the end of the program: Aliona Savchenko: Definition of a competitor

Well done to her. I am very impressed the way she has moved on from skating and forging new directions for herself.
What the hell is a Ninja Twizzle? Does it have anything to do with hard shelled aquatic life forms that live in the sewer?

Michelle is a type of person who would strive and succeed in anything she puts her mind to. The honorary degree is just a small taste of what is to come in terms of achievement and contribution she will make. A great role model.

Nice Christine Brennan column about sport stars speaking at graduations with an emphasis on Michelle

Thanks you so much Visaliakid for posting Michelle. It was a wonderful speech and I just love watching her (skating and otherwise) I miss her skating terribly. Even now no one compares.
