Princeton's Class Day occurs the day before commencement, so Lynch is not their commencement speaker. The announcement that Beast Mode would be speaking to the senior class was released Tuesday, and a group of seniors wrote an open letter to the Class Day co-chairs that was published in The Daily Princetonian just two days later.
