Two U.S. presidents, Jimi Hendrix, Frank Sinatra, and hundreds more have graced the Auditorium Theatre stage. On graduation day, Commencement speaker Anthony Rodriguez joins them with his official send-off to his classmates.

Back in 2010, Anthony started his career with the Chicago Public Schools district as a substitute bus aide. In 2021, armed with his Roosevelt University degree, he will assume a new role in his field of special education.

Anthony and I talked about his path to graduation, the challenges of distance learning, and his love of standup comedy. Congratulations on your well-earned degree, Anthony, and I hope all of you will enjoy our conversation.
