Los Angeles, California - Former President Bill Clinton is scheduled to address graduates at UCLA's main commencement ceremony this June.

Clinton, who served two terms as president, from 1993 to 2001, will deliver the keynote at the UCLA College of Letters and Science ceremony, which is scheduled for Friday, June 13, at 5 p.m. in Pauley Pavilion.

Since leaving office, Clinton founded the William J. Clinton Foundation, whose mission is to "strengthen the capacity of people in the United States and throughout the world to meet the challenges of global interdependence." The foundation's initiatives focus on developing sustainable economic growth, fighting climate change, enhancing economic opportunity, combating childhood obesity and improving health care for HIV/AIDS patients.

The UCLA College of Letters and Science holds the campus's largest commencement ceremony. Approximately 3,000 students are expected to have degrees conferred on them, and some 12,000 guests are expected to attend.
