NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton made a surprise return to her alma mater on Monday, picking up an honorary degree from Yale University 36 years after earning her law degree from the Ivy League school.

Graduates celebrating commencement at Yale erupted in cheers as Clinton was introduced. In keeping with Yale tradition, the names of honorary degree recipients are a closely held secret, although word began trickling out Sunday of Clinton's participation.

None of the 10 honorary degree recipients spoke during the morning ceremony held for the university at large, where Yale handed out 2,868 undergraduate and graduate degrees. It was the school's 308th commencement ceremony.

Congrats to her.


Yale can give Clinton an honorary degree, Arizona State can't give one to Obama SMFH

If Harvard makes it the Daily Double by awarding an honorary doctorate to Bill, I'm going to change my name from Ivytalk to Hentalk!

You should do that anyway.

Or, they were smart enough to not make a big deal out of awarding someone an HONORARY degree, which is meaningless anyway.

Hillary Clinton, like her or not, is a high value historical figure, especially in the women's empowerment arena. Good move by Yale, or any school.

It's good PR, something ASU obviously isn't very concerned about.

Exactly.

I agree with ASU too. Obama hasn't done shit, yet.
