For the second straight year, much to the chagrin of Villanova’s graduating class, the university will not be having a commencement speaker.
With the Class of 2022 set to graduate in a matter of weeks, seniors are hoping to offer their own solution which would fill the void and make everyone happy — have the recently-retired Jay Wright to speak at graduation.
A change.org petition started by Villanova senior Andrew Ceonzo, a political science and economics major, has picked up plenty of momentum. The petition for Wright to speak started on Wednesday around 12 noon and reached 1,000-plus signatures just seven hours later.
