Oprah Winfreys all-time favorite guest and Oklahoma State University alumna Dr. Tererai Trent will be the featured speaker at Saturdays three undergraduate commencement ceremonies. Secretly educating herself as a youngster, Trent rose from a childhood of poverty in Africa to earn both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from OSU while raising a family. She shattered all barriers to become a symbol of hope for women in her home village. Trent will receive one of the universitys highest honors, Honorary Degree of Doctor of Humane Letters, from President Hargis on Saturday. All three ceremonies will be streamed live on OStateTV.
