Eleven commencement ceremonies will be held around the UCSD campus, beginning Friday night when National Geographic Adventure magazine’s 2010 adventurer of the year will speak to 7,535 graduating students.
The All Campus Graduation Celebration starts at 7 p.m. with a speech by Lin, who has been called a modern-day Indiana Jones for using cutting-edge technologies to search for the unmarked tomb of Genghis Khan.
“I received all three of my degrees from UC San Diego and sat through three graduations, but I never thought I would be the one giving the address,” Lin said in a press release. “My experience has been that the most important thing a person can do is to find out what they are passionate about, after that anything is possible.”
