Actor Harrison Ford delivers the commencement address at Arizona State University on May 11, urging graduates to pursue both “social justice” and stronger environmental protection. Ford, who is presented with an honorary Doctor of Arts and Humane Letters degree for his conservation work, tells the graduating class to extend social justice as part of building a better future. He also emphasizes the need to address environmental harms, characterizing the current era as one with serious consequences and urging action to prevent “mass extinction.” According to the accounts, Ford frames the call for change as a responsibility that extends beyond personal success and into public life, including efforts to “clean up” the environmental problems he attributes to the generation before. The remarks tie his public conservation background to his message for new graduates, with both outlets describing the graduation setting and the honorary degree as part of the event.
