TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — President Barack Obama was greeted with resounding cheers by a large crowd at Arizona State University’s commencement ceremonies.
The audience of thousands snapped photos and stood up as Obama stepped from behind a curtain on the field of Sun Devil Stadium.
He was introduced to students screaming his name and thousands of camera flashes.
Cloaked in a black-and-red gown, Obama waved and said “thank you” to the crowd.
After the national anthem was played, Obama sat down next to ASU President Michael Crow on the stage and waited to deliver his commencement speech.
