Commencement Speaker
Massachusetts Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll will deliver the keynote address at Bunker Hill Community College’s 51st Commencement exercises on Thursday, May 22, 2025, at the MGM Fenway Music Hall in Boston.
Lt. Governor Driscoll has not only been a longtime advocate of public higher education in the Commonwealth, she is also a product of it. Lt. Governor Driscoll served as the City of Salem’s first woman Mayor, elected in 2006. Under her leadership, Salem became one of the first communities in Massachusetts to adopt the expansion of free, high-quality early education opportunities starting at age four. The daughter of a Navy chef from Lynn and an accountant’s assistant from Trinidad, Driscoll spent her childhood in several states, before attending Salem State University, where she studied government and became a stand-out athlete on the women’s basketball team. Like so many Salem State students, she fell in love with Salem and made it her home after graduation, pursuing a career in municipal government, and married her college sweetheart, a second-generation union bricklayer.
