Commencement '09 - Bill Raftery

As part of the Universitys Commencement ceremony tradition, Seton Hall honors outstanding men and women for the lives they lead and the work they have accomplished. This year Seton Hall honored P.J. Carlesimo, Bill Raftery and Luna Kaufman with an honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters degree. Each provided their own remarks to graduating students.

Bill Raftery is currently in his 27th season as an analyst for CBS Sports' college basketball coverage. Prior to his broadcasting career, Bill was Seton Hall's head basketball coach for 12 years. During his entire 16-year collegiate coaching career, he gained three NIT and four ECAC Tournament berths and was named Coach of the Year in 1979 by the New Jersey Basketball Writers Association. Bill, too, constantly gives of himself, sharing his faith and his insights with students and alumni of Seton Hall whenever he is asked.
