United States President Donald Trump has announced that he will deliver the 2025 commencement address at the University of Alabama, marking a historic first for the institution. In a post on Truth Social, Trump shared that he has agreed to give commencement speeches at two prominent venues—Alabama’s flagship university and the United States Military Academy at West Point.

“I've agreed to do the Commencement Address at two really GREAT places, the University of Alabama and, WEST POINT,” Trump wrote.

The University of Alabama's graduation ceremonies are scheduled to take place from May 2 to May 4 at Coleman Coliseum. If finalized, Trump’s appearance would be the first time a sitting or former U.S. president has addressed the graduating class at the university, establishing a milestone in its academic history.

Though Trump has confirmed his participation, the University of Alabama has not yet issued an official statement detailing the event or outlining specific logistics for the commencement speech. Preparations are likely underway to coordinate security and ceremonial protocols for the high-profile visit.

Trump’s announcement reflects his ongoing engagement with major public institutions and his continued visibility in the national spotlight. His planned appearances at both a large public university and a military academy underscore a strategic outreach to both student and military communities.

As graduation season approaches, attention will likely turn to how these events are received by attendees and the broader public. The confirmed participation of the current U.S. president in these ceremonies ensures national interest and media coverage leading up to May.
