World’s most famous drop-out, Mark Zuckerberg, will finally get Harvard degree

Lots of college dropouts will go on to regret
not finishing their degree. That probably isn’t the case for billionaire Mark Zuckerberg, who left Harvard as a
sophomore in 2004 to set up a little known
website called Facebook.


But having said that the 32-year-old looks pretty happy that he will finally get an honorary degree for delivering the
Harvard University class of 2017 commencement address in a video
posted by the famous college.
The commencement address is a speech to
graduating students.
Previous people to give the speech include
Steven Spielberg, J.K Rowling and another
tech billionaire Bill Gates, who also dropped
out of Harvard.
The famous university has released a short
video of the two, where Zuckerberg asks
Gates for help in writing his speech.
Harvard president Drew Faust said: ‘Mark
Zuckerberg’s leadership has profoundly
altered the nature of social engagement
worldwide.
‘Few inventions in
modern times can rival Facebook in its far-
reaching impact on how people around the globe interact with one another.
‘And few individuals can rival Mark Zuckerberg in his drive to change our world through the innovative use of technology, as well as his commitment to advance science, enhance education, and expand opportunity through the pursuit of philanthropy.
‘I greatly look forward to welcoming Mark
back to Harvard on commencement day.’
