ABC South Dakota affiliate KSFY News reports that the commander-in-chief will visit Lake Area Technical Institute in Watertown to deliver a commencement address on May 8. Obama has made education a key part of the last two years of his second term, calling for free community college access for all Americans in his State of the Union address.

While South Dakota will be the last of the 50 states that Obama visits as president, he defended himself in his interview with KSFY News Monday, saying that he had previously visited the state — just not while president.
