Some students are celebrating their achievements this summer at commencement ceremonies throughout the country that mark the completions of their degree programs. A university based in Minnesota will host a special guest speaker at their graduation to help in the festivities.

Former president Bill Clinton will address more than 4,700 students at the Minnesota institution's 2011 commencement event. The school will present Clinton with an honorary doctorate for his dedication to educational endeavors.

In the spirit of online education, the entire program will be broadcasted live on the internet so students and loved ones who are unable to attend may enjoy the ceremony.
