In the United States the only time an important person will visit a university is to give a speech during a graduation ceremony, and then only if it is a school that either they themselves attended, or one of their offsprings attend. Or to give a condolence speech after a specific tragic event. Like when some U.S. college students died in the earthquake in Haitiei or more recently when the professor flipped out at a staff meeting and shot 11 other teachers and students.
