Hillsdale, Mich. — Hillsdale College is pleased to announce that Jordan B. Peterson will address the class of 2022 at the College’s 170th spring commencement ceremony.

Peterson is a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto, a clinical psychologist, and the author of three books: “Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief,” “12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos,” and “Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life.” He received a B.A. in political science and a B.A. in psychology from the University of Alberta, and a M.A. and Ph.D. in clinical psychology from McGill University. He has published more than 100 scientific papers, and his podcasts have over 55 million downloads and consistently rank #1 in the Higher Education category on iTunes. He was nominated for five consecutive years as one of Ontario’s Best University Lecturers.
