2018 Commencement Speaker Announced

Kimball Union is pleased to announce that Charles Wheelan, Senior Lecturer and Policy Fellow in the Nelson A. Rockefeller Center for Public Policy at Dartmouth College, will deliver this year’s commencement address. 

Can't wait for May? Look back to our February 12 All School Meeting when Dr. Wheelan addressed the community.

Dr. Wheelan is masterful at making economics accessible, and strives to “make important academic ideas understandable to the broadest possible audience and to use these powerful ideas to address real social challenges.” 

As a best-selling author, former correspondent with The Economist, and congressional candidate, Dr. Wheelan is equipped to address big topics and brings a personal and humorous delivery. As the author of "10 ½ Things no Commencement Speaker Has Ever Said", Dr. Wheelan is the “breezy opposite of your typical droving economist.” We are delighted to welcome Charlie Wheelan back to Kimball Union for our two-hundred and third commencement.
