Craigslist helps Case find its commencement speaker
Every year, Case holds a commencement ceremony for all graduating students to celebrate their achievements and wish them luck in their future endeavors. This year, the keynote speaker for this event is Craig Newmark, founder of craigslist.org. Craig graduated from Case in the 1970s with a bachelor of science in computer science. In 1995, he started craigslist with a focus only on the San Francisco Bay area. Since then, the online community has gone worldwide and receives over 30 million visitors every month. Craigslist is largely a classified advertisement Web site, with postings for jobs, housing, personals and equipment. Due to the success of the site, Craig was voted one of Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in the World in 2005.
