He's a drop out but this year MarkZuckerberg will speak at the Harvardcommencement
Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, is one of the mostsuccessful college dropouts. And this year he's going back
to Harvard University as the commencement speaker. The
university announced yesterday that Zuckerberg will
address graduates at the 366th commencement ceremony
on May 25.
Zuckerberg founded Facebook while a Harvard sophomore
in 2004 before dropping out to work on the company. The
social network was once exclusively for college students,
but now is used by more than 1 billion people each day.
In a video posted to his Facebook page, Zuckerberg joked
with Microsoft cofounder and fellow Harvard dropout Bill
Gates about the speaking engagement. Gates was the
Harvard commencement speaker back in 2007, the same
year Zuckerberg's wife, pediatrician Priscilla Chan,
graduated from the university.
"They know we didn't actually graduate, right?"
Zuckerberg says in the video.
Back in 2003, Zuckerberg made facemash.com a "hot or
not" for students. He was accused of "breaching security,
violating copyrights and violating individual privacy,"
according to the Harvard Crimson, and had to face an
administrative board to determine whether he should be
kicked out.
