NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton made a surprise return to her alma mater Monday, picking up an honorary degree from Yale University 36 years after earning her law degree from the 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.
During the Yale Law School’s separate commencement event held in the early afternoon, she expressed hope that every graduate would “use every creative gene you have” to work “on behalf of the public good.”
