EASTERN MICHIGAN UN LVERSITY · Office for Alumni Relations· Volume 3, Number 3 Summer 2000 President Clinton Speaks at EMU Graduation by Ron Podell, officeof public iriformation

The technology revolution is providing information opportunities in ways previously never imagined. How­ ever, those same technological advances are also raising serious questions about tlueats to public privacy, said President William Jefferson Clinton during his com­ mencement address to more than 1,300 Eastern Michi­ gan University graduates April 30. "Today, as information technology opens new worlds of possibilities, it also challenges privacy in ways we might never have imagined just a few years ago," Clinton said. "For example, the same genetic code that offers hopes for millions can also be used to deny health insurance. The same technology that links distant places can also be used to track our every move on-line." The standing-room-only crowd did tl1e usual neck­ straining and flashbulb popping as the graduates marched into Eastern Michigan's Convocation Center. But there was an extra electricity in the air, as the crowd buzzed with anticipation for President Clinton's arrival. The event marked the firsttime in Eastern Michigan's 150-year history that a sitting president addressed a com­ mencement ceremony. The presidential visit marked the second time in four years that Clinton had been to East­ ern Michigan. He came to EMU's Bowen Field House in October 1996 to make a major policy announcement. US SecretaryofTransportation Rodney E. Slater, a 1977 EMU graduate, introduced the president and fondly reminisced on his EMU experience. "Eastern taught me that nothing, nothing was im­ possible," Slater said of his road from EMU to working with Clinton when he was governor of Arkansas, and then to the White House. '�s a graduate of this institu­ tion, I will always be part of EMU and will always be proud of that fact." Although not as well-publicized, two other distin­ guished EMU graduates were present.John Coburn, one of only eight four-star generals in the United States Army, and Eugene Conti,Jr., assistant secretary fortrans­ 1.
