*Oprah Winfrey will be the commencement speaker at Skidmore College, the upstate New York school where some graduates of her South African school attended.

The school’s website says the TV mogul and actress will be a speaker at the May 20 graduation ceremony at Saratoga Performing Arts Center.

Winfrey will also receive an honorary Doctorate of Letters in the Arts from the private liberal arts college located in Saratoga Springs, 165 miles north of New York City.

Winfrey was last at Skidmore in October 2013 to visit two graduates of her Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy, a boarding school for underprivileged South African girls that opened outside Johannesburg in 2007.
