CNN's Leon Harris Addresses Ohio University's June 12 Commencements

Ohio University graduate Leon Harris, co-anchor of CNN's "Early Edition," was back at his alma mater Saturday to give graduating seniors calming advice he wishes he would have received as a graduate 16 years ago.

"Relax, you've already done the hard part," Harris said, during his morning commencement address in the nearly filled 13,000-seat Convocation Center. "You are going to make it."

Harris urged graduates to lead interesting lives.

"Go on out there and take some chances and get your hands dirty," Harris said. "Fall in love with someone or something that is not related to your job. ... If you want to have an interesting life, you have to do something different every day."

Harris, a native of Akron, graduated cum laude from Ohio University in 1983 with a bachelor's degree in communications.

Harris also spoke at the 2 p.m. commencement ceremony.
