USC Releases Outside Commencement Speakers From Scheduled Appearances


Scheduled speakers at USC's commencement have been told they don't need to appear.

Entertainment industry figures scheduled to appear included director Jon M. Chu(Crazy Rich Asians) and producer Miky Lee of Korea’s the CJ Group, which gave the world the Oscar-winning film Parasite.

We’ve been talking to this exceptional group and hope to confer these honorary degrees at a future commencement or other academic ceremonies.”
