Guys, He Has A Nobel Prize

In less-dramatic grad speaker news, SAS has announced that this George Smith dude will speak at the College graduation this year. Apparently his time in DRL (yep, he's an alum) paid off because he invented the "charge-coupled device." This somehow turned into a digital camera or something. The point is, without him you couldn't be tagged in pictures on Facebook. Also, he has a Nobel Prize. Badass.
Contrasting the totally left-brain Smith, the student speaker will be Penn celeb Josh Bennett, known most for his slammin' poetry and for being a Penn celeb. Will his graduation speech be a limerick? A Shakespearean sonnett? We dunno, but we imagine it will flow better than a certain Ambassador to China.
