Former Vice President Al Gore will deliver the University of Maryland, College Park’s spring commencement address, college officials announced Monday. He will also receive an honorary doctorate of public service from the university during the May 20 ceremony at the XFINITY Center. Gore, who served during both terms of the Clinton administration, is the author of the New York Times best-seller, “An Inconvenient Truth.” The book about the dangers of global warming was later adapted as a documentary, which won two Oscars in 2006. The next year, Gore was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize alongside the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change for “informing the world of the dangers posed by climate change.” He has continued to write books and spread awareness about global warming. He also is a member of Apple Inc.’s board of directors.
