House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi will give the commencement address to graduates of San Jose State on May 23 at Spartan Stadium.
Pelosi, D-San Francisco, has served in the House since 1987 and was the first woman to serve as House Speaker, from 2007 to 2011.
She gave the commencement address last year at UC Berkeley, where she highlighted the Free Speech Movement's 50th anniversary and spoke about challenging the status quo. An estimated 22,000 people attended that speech.
