Join Michael Barbaro and “The Daily” team to celebrate commencement with the students and faculty of “Odessa” including a performance by Odessa’s award-winning marching band, and a celebrity commencement speech.

Joe Biden will soon reach a milestone: the first 100 days of his administration.
In his inaugural address, he spoke of unity, tolerance and humility. On Wednesday, he will give a different kind of speech, this time to a joint session of Congress and one in which he is expected to focus on the details of policy.
