Haverford College named holocaust survivor and author Ele Wiesel as its commencement speaker earlier this month.
A report in the Bryn Mawr's Haverford News said that former Vice-Presidential candidate Geraldine A. Ferraro declined an invitation to speak at Bryn Mawr's convocation in favor of Wellesley College's commencement.
Wiesel, currently Mellon Professor of Humanities at Boston University, has authored 21 books in addition to serving as chairman of the United States Holocaust Memorial Council.
Previous commencement speakers at Haverford have included John Kenneth Galbraith, Jim Lehrer, and Barry Commoner.
