Tulane graduates had more than just their degree to sing about Thursday afternoon when they were surprised by a performance by the legendary Stevie Wonder.
 

The Grammy award-winner graced the graduates with “You Are The Sunshine of My Life” during the ceremony. Wonder was also awarded an honorary degree from the New Orelans, Louisiana university.
 

Other degree recipients included Nobel Laureate Walter Gilbert and journalist Cokie Roberts. Pulitzer Prize winner Thomas Friedman, a columnist for the New York Times, was the keynote speaker.
