PITTSBURGH -- Former Vice President and Nobel Peace Prize winner Al Gore will speak at Carnegie Mellon University's 111th commencement ceremony May 18.
CMU president Jared Cohon said Gore is the nation's leading environmental advocate and welcomes Gore's address to the Pittsburgh university's graduates.
Gore shared the Nobel Prize with the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and has authored two best-selling books on the environment, "Earth in the Balance" and "An Inconvenient Truth." The latter book was also the subject of an Academy Award-winning documentary.
