The prime-time address will take place on Saturday, May 16 at 8 p.m. ET and is being hosted by the XQ Institute, the Lebron James Family Foundation, and the Entertainment Industry Foundation.
Obama is expected to congratulate seniors on all their achievements over the past four years and reflect on the past few months as COVID-19 has forced students to absorb new ways of learning.
The former president will also be joined by several high school students who are part of the Obama Foundation’s work to inspire, empower, and connect people to change their world.
