John Harbaugh ’84, head coach of the New York Giants and member of Miami University’s Cradle of Coaches, will give the keynote address at Spring Commencement at 10:30 a.m. on May 16 in Yager Stadium.

Harbaugh called it a great honor to be named this year’s commencement speaker. “I just have so much respect for Miami, for the administration, for the university, for everything it stands for, for everything it did for me,” he said in an earlier interview.

Harbaugh played defensive back at Miami, where he won the Football Scholar-Athlete Award and graduated with a degree in Political Science.

He was the Super Bowl-winning head coach of the Baltimore Ravens when they won Super Bowl XLVII in 2013 against the San Francisco 49ers. He was inducted into the Cradle of Coaches Association in 2014.

Established in 1809, Miami University is located in Oxford, Ohio, with regional campuses in Hamilton and Middletown, a learning center in West Chester, and a European study center in Luxembourg. Interested in learning more about the university? Visit the website for more information.
