Entertainer Sheryl Underwood will deliver the commencement address to more than 600 students during the annual ceremony. Underwood skillfully balances the roles of in-demand entertainer, entrepreneur, movie and television actress, radio personality and philanthropist. She is owner and chief executive officer of Pack Rat Productions, Inc. and is the 23rd international president of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., the only full-time entertainer to ever hold the sorority’s highest post. Underwood sits alongside her co-hosts, Julie Chen, Sara Gilbert, Sharon Osbourne and Aisha Tyler, on CBS Network’s “THE TALK.” The daytime talk show averages 3.01 million viewers per day. With Underwood at the table, “THE TALK” received its first daytime Emmy nomination. As part of “THE TALK’s” hosting team, Underwood recently received a 2016 People’s Choice award for Favorite Daytime TV Hosting Team, an NAACP Image award for Outstanding Talk Series and an exclusive feature article in PEOPLE magazine.
