NCCU grad copied speech from YouTube

DURHAM (TAMARA GIBBS / WTVD) — A North Carolina Central University law school graduate faces possible disciplinary action after copying a commencement speech almost word for word from a YouTube video.

Preston Mitchum – NCCU’s top law student – delivered this year’s commencement speech. Many called it awe-inspiring.

“It was funny. I enjoyed it. I was entertained,” said student Jeffrey Wilkins.

But for some, the speech was also vaguely familiar. That’s because it was mostly the work of Binghamton University graduate Anthony Corvino who made much the same speech at his graduation last year.
