The ΒιΆΉΣ°ΤΊ Senior Class Council has worked with various campus centers to bring Eric Stough, producer/animation director of β€œSouth Park,” as the keynote speaker for CU-ΒιΆΉΣ°ΤΊ spring commencement ceremony on Friday, May 9, at 8:30 a.m. in Folsom Field.

Stough, who graduated from CU-ΒιΆΉΣ°ΤΊ with a film degree in 1995, reflects the student body at CU in the many ways including his motivation, thinking outside-of-the-box, and helping to create one of TV’s most popular animated series featured on Comedy Central, according to Erica Rozbruch, CU-ΒιΆΉΣ°ΤΊ Senior Class Council president.

β€œStough’s story is an inspiration to students as he jump-started his career while at CU,” said Rozbruch. β€œThe Senior Class Council feels that Stough exemplifies someone who has followed his passion by taking a creative path to success and he can deliver a powerful and universal message to our commencement audience.”
