A University committee selected Jonathan Krisch '07 Monday over four other senior speaker finalists to deliver the address at the 56th commencement ceremony.Krisch said his speech will focus on ethical dialogue-on what it is and how to maintain it. He added that he will reflect on how students, faculty and administrators could have employed a more effective strategy in discussing the administration's removal of a student exhibit of Palestinian artwork, the University's partnership with Al-Quds University and visits by former President Jimmy Carter and Alan Dershowitz.

"It's quite an honor, and I really appreciate the class' support," Kirsch said.
