Composer, musician and two-time Academy Award-winner A.R. Rahman will be the commencement speaker at Miami University's spring ceremony, 1:30 p.m. Saturday, May 5, at Yager Stadium and will receive an honorary doctorate from Miami University.

Rahman’s musical compositions in the movie "Slumdog Millionaire" earned him two Oscars, two Grammy awards, a Golden Globe, a BAFTA award and a Broadcast Film Critics Association Award. Recently he collaborated with Mick Jagger to perform on the acclaimed album "SuperHeavy."

Described by Time magazine as the "Mozart of Madras" and as possibly the most prolific recording artist in the world, Rahman was named in 2009 as one of the 100 Most Influential People in the world by Time.
