Tom Brokaw at the University of Iowa- May 15th, 2010

On Saturday, May 15th, 2010, Tom Brokaw returned to the University of Iowa, where he began his college education before eventually graduating from University of South Dakota.
The longtime NBC newsman was one of three Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree recipients at Saturday morning's ceremony at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. He was joined by Pulitzer Prize winner and former U.S. Poet Laureate Robert Hass and C. Vivian Stringer, former UI and current Rutgers University women's basketball coach.
His commencement address, to the graduating class of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, was titled "Failure is an Option".

I went & graduated from the University of Iowa, an amazing college and experience. I credit my success in life and business by being a student and attending the University of Iowa. I would have not chosen any other college looking back!
