The class of 2026 from the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill are going to remember graduation day for a long time. Not just for achieving their education goals, but because country superstar Eric Church has been tapped to deliver the commencement speech. In a statement, Church said, “Being asked to be the Commencement speaker at North Carolina is one of the greatest honors I’ve ever had. Being a Tar Heel ‘born, bred, dead’ and knowing what the school has meant to me and my family, it’s surreal. To be able to be there and celebrate the future, the students at the University of North Carolina as they go onto their next journey, I’m honored to do it, and I can’t wait to see everybody there.” Commencement is scheduled for May 9 at Kenan Stadium in Chapel Hill.
