Romney to deliver commencement address at Pat Robertson's University
Republican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney will deliver a commencement address at Regent University this May, the Christian school founded by prominent Christian broadcaster and one-time presidential candidate Pat Robertson.According to Regent spokeswoman Sherri Stocks, Robertson made the decision after Romney met with him at the University last December.
"The meeting went very well and the decision was made to invite him back and speak to our students," Stocks told CNN.
However Robertson has not endorsed Romney for president, Stocks said.
Stocks did not know if any other presidential candidates were considered for the address.
Sen. John McCain, one of Romney's chief rivals for the nomination, delivered the commencement address last May at the Rev. Jerry Falwell's Liberty University.
Robertson, founder of the Christian Coalition, ran unsuccessfully for the GOP presidential nomination in 1988.
