Ellen DeGeneres returned home to New Orleans on Monday to deliver a moving commencement speech to the 2009 graduates of Tulane University, The Katrina Class. DeGeneres was presented with Tulane University's President’s Medal for her work raising money and awareness for New Orleans after Katrina. Ellen’s talk was funny, serious, touching and memorable.
From her first greeting to the robe-clad graduates (“Look at you….usually when you’re wearing a robe at 10 in the morning, it means you’ve given up”), to re-telling the sad story behind her famous “phone call to God” joke that got her on The Tonight Show, to jokes about being gay (“When you’re older, most of you will be gay”), it was all priceless. She ended her address with lyrics from Lady Gaga’s “Just Dance,” and then proceeded to dance through the audience bringing the graduates and their families joyously to their feet.
