众所周知,扎克伯格曾经为了追求建造社交网络平台的梦想从哈佛退学,如今他在全球坐拥近20亿用户,在哈佛5月26日举行的第366届毕业演讲上,他将担当主讲人的角色。
“Few individuals can rival Mark Zuckerberg in his drive to change our world through the innovative3 use of technology, as well as his commitment to advance science, enhance education, and expand opportunity through the pursuit of philanthropy,” Harvard president Drew Faust said in a statement Tuesday. “I greatly look forward to welcoming Mark back to Harvard on Commencement Day.”

哈佛还发布了一个充满溢美之词的拍摄视频,其主角是扎克伯格和另一位哈佛辍学生、比尔·盖茨,扎克伯格做出了技术革新,而后者则掀起了一项技术革命。
“They know we didn’t actually graduate, right?” Zuckerberg asks Gates, who spoke4 at commencement in 2007.
