Three distinguished professionals receiving honorary degrees will accompany CBS correspondent Andy Rooney in addressing graduates at the May 22 Commencement.
[Excerpt]
Alberto Ibarguen
Publisher of The Miami Herald and its Spanish counterpart, El Nuevo Herald, Alberto Ibarguen started as a newspaper executive in 1984, working at two papers in the Northeast.
"It's an extraordinary honor that I'm really very, very proud to receive," Ibarguen said in an interview with The Hatchet. "And to be perfectly honest to you, since (GW) rejected me from ... (its) law school, there was a great irony."
Ibarguen, who got his bachelor's from Wesleyan College in Middletown, Conn., said his liberal arts education was a very formative part of his life. It taught him how to think methodically, a talent he said helped him while doing humanitarian work in South America.
"I grew up in South Orange, New Jersey ... and the Peace Corps sends me to work in the Amazon Federal Territory, and what got me through was my great liberal education," he said. "To ask, to connect the dots, to always ask questions ... My success there was due to the education that I received."
