Trump spoke at the commencement ceremony for Liberty University last year, where he also received an honorary law degree. He also spoke at the Coast Guard Academy’s commencement.

Vice President Pence spoke at the Naval Academy graduation ceremony last year, telling graduates that Trump would “always have your back.” Pence also spoke at the University of Notre Dame commencement, where a large group of students walked out in protest.

This year, Pence will deliver the commencement address at Hillsdale College.
