Former MTV leader earns Honorary Doctorate Degree from Westminster College
The former CEO of MTV Networks International had a crowd of Westminster College students in stitches yesterday as he laced a lecture on his life with jokes about bringing the world “extremely intelligent programming” such as “Jersey Shore” and “Beavis and Butt-Head.”
“I feel like Harry Potter,” Bill Roedy said, referring to his academic robe and hood bestowed on him along with an honorary doctorate degree.
But there were plenty of serious notes during Roedy’s John Findley Green Lecture, part of Westminster’s two-day symposium on global technology. Mainly, he urged future graduates to be adaptable in a world that’s changing at a rapid pace.
