About 20 years ago, Adewale “Wally” Adeyemo campaigned for an ASUC position with the slogan, “By golly, vote Wally!”
Now the first Black deputy secretary of the United States Department of the Treasury, Adeyemo will virtually return to UC Berkeley as this year’s spring commencement speaker, according to a Berkeley News press release.
“Berkeley instilled in me the belief that no matter who you were or where you came from, you could shape and improve your community,” Adeyemo said in an email. “The country is facing a once-in-a-generation challenge with COVID 19, and I’m eager to talk to this year’s graduating class about how they will embrace that Cal belief in service and rise to the challenge to make their mark on this world.”
