RADNOR, Pa. (CBS) — Kylie Kelce will speak at Cabrini University’s final commencement ceremonies, the Catholic university said Tuesday.
Kelce is a Cabrini alumna – in 2017, she received a degree in communications and was a starter on the field hockey team all four years at the school.
Kelce was later a coach for Lower Merion High School’s field hockey team and has become an advocate for girls and women in sports – the school’s announcement noted her partnership with Dove to support the Body Confident Sport program. It’s a program for coaches to help build body confidence in girls ages 11-17.
With her husband, the recently retired Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, Kylie also works with the Eagles Autism Foundation and hosts an annual fundraising event in Sea Isle City, New Jersey, for the foundation.
Kelce will address Cabrini’s undergraduates and another alum, Dr. Rachel Slaughter, will speak to students receiving graduate and doctoral degrees.
Slaughter worked with a local church to found the Salt and Light Learning Institute, later renamed Literacy University. The program provided tutoring and homework help as well as workshops to help fathers read to their sons. Slaughter is described as an advocate committed to ending illiteracy.
The 2024 commencement ceremonies will be Cabrini’s last after it was announced the school will be acquired by Villanova University, another nearby Catholic school.
The closure of Cabrini came as a shock to the school community, but it followed several years with multimillion-dollar budget deficits.
Villanova is expected to buy the Cabrini property.
