The former TV star became the star of Drew University's graduation ceremony on Saturday, May 11.
Actor James Van Der Beek is a former Drew University student but never finished his degree. On Saturday, May 11, he was given an honorary bachelor's degree and gave the commencement speech to the graduating class.“I have so many fond memories from my time here in the forest,” Van Der Beek said at the top of his comments before addressing and congratulating the graduates. “Your greatest possible destiny is the one you will write.
“As you navigate life outside of the forest,” he said, “I would invite you to ask that newly minted, freshly certified brain to execute at the behest of your heart, and not the other way around.” The actor received an honorary bachelor of arts degree Saturday for his “selfless service and exemplary commitment to the mission of Drew,” the university said.
