Officials at the academy said Friday that Harris will deliver the keynote address at the May 18 ceremony in New London, Connecticut.

Harris was the commencement speaker at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, last year. President Joe Biden spoke at last year’s Coast Guard Academy commencement ceremony.
