Commencement 2018: A prince, a Philadelphia Eagle, a movie director, and a Nobel Prize winner among area speakers

Commencement 2018. Time to hear that sage advice again, and in the Philadelphia region, speakers come from all walks of life: There's a prince and an Eagle, a Nobel Prize winner and a prominent filmmaker.

There are politicians and pundits, business leaders and artists. Even Pennsylvania's secretary of corrections has a stint. U.S. Sen. Cory Booker will pull a double: He's addressing graduates at Temple University on Thursday and then Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster on May 12.

Eagles running back Corey Clement, fresh off a Super Bowl win, got things started with an address to graduates at Rowan University on Sunday. Thomas Jefferson University has landed Prince Albert II of Monaco on Wednesday. He has ties to the East Falls neighborhood of its campus that was formerly Philadelphia University: His mother, Princess Grace, grew up there.

Rutgers University also has snagged two big names, Queen Latifah at its Newark campus on May 14 and Anita Hill, the woman who accused U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment when he was a nominee, at Rutgers-Camden Law on May 17. Her appearance comes at a time when the nation is focused on #MeToo and more women are speaking out about sexual harassment by powerful men.

Graduations started this past weekend and run through the middle of June, with filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan at Drexel University on June 15. Here's a look at some other speakers:
