TIME Magazine managing editor to address Witt class of 2009
Wittenberg University’s class of 2009 has chosen Richard Stengel, managing editor of TIME Magazine to deliver the university’s 164th commencement address on May 16.
Stengel was named managing editor of the award winning news magazine in 2006. It has a worldwide readership of 25 million and TIME.com draws 6 million unique visitors a month. In addition, Stengel manages TIME’s other brand extensions including TIME Style & Design and TIME For Kids.
“We are excited that Mr. Stengel has accepted our invitation to serve as our Commencement speaker,” said Andrew Tomko, senior class president from North Olmsted, Ohio. “Throughout his career, Mr. Stengel has helped, in keeping with TIME’s mission, to ‘explain the world to people.’
“Who better to address our class at this historic time in our world than the person who in many ways has consistently passed on his own light of leadership, integrity and knowledge to ensure that we understand, contemplate and engage ourselves in the issues and events that affect us all.”
