Michael Bloomberg will make his final commencement speech as mayor at Cooper Union's graduation ceremony this May.

The president for the Greenwich Village engineering and art school said Bloomberg was his top choice for its 154th ceremony because of his promotion of science and innovation during his years in office.

"His record and vision provide an example for our graduates who want to contribute their talents to New York and beyond," Jamshed Bharucha said in a statement.
