PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — The New England Institute of Technology (NEIT) announced Friday that NCAA president and former Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker will give the school's commencement address this year. The ceremony will be on May 4 at Amica Mutual Pavilion in Providence. Baker served two terms as governor after he was first elected in 2014. He decided not to seek a third term in 2022 and was announced as the NCAA's president before leaving office. During his time in office, Baker had high approval ratings, sometimes polling as the country's most popular governor. NEIT said Baker will get an honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters "for his achievements and work to improve life for others." Rabbi Leslie Gutterman is also receiving an honorary degree, the college said. Download the WPRI 12 and Pinpoint Weather 12 apps to get breaking news and weather alerts.
