Two years after giving the Commencement address at Penn, Vice President Joe Biden will be at it again, but at a different Ivy school.

Biden is set to speak at Yale's Class Day on May 17, the University announced this week. Biden breaks a string of Yale alumni that have spoken at Class Day with New Jersey Senator Cory Booker and Secretary of State John Kerry giving the address the last two years.

Biden, whose granddaughter is a College junior, spoke at Penn's Commencement in 2013, the first time a sitting vice president had given the commencement address in Penn's history.

“We are so well-positioned to lead the world in the 21st century that we have to take advantage of it,” he said to the Penn Class of 2013. “You — this is not hyperbole — you, all those receiving undergraduate and graduate degrees today, are going to make it possible.”

Here's more on Biden speaking at Yale's 314th Commencement from the Yale Daily News.
