"Sex and the City" star to give CU commencement address

Zoom in: The actress was born in Boulder, where her father was a CU psychology professor and her mother was a CU alum, according to a release.

• "Commencement is about reflection, possibility and the courage to take the next step, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to share that moment with the Class of 2026," Davis said in a statement.

What they're saying: While Davis is best known for her role as Charlotte York on "Sex and the City," CU officials also highlighted her off-screen work helping fight elephant poaching in Africa.

• "Her career reflects creativity, resilience and a deep commitment to making a difference beyond the screen — a message that will resonate with the Class of 2026," CU Boulder chancellor Justin Schwartz said in a statement.

If you go: The spring commencement ceremony is set for 8:30am May 2 at Folsom Field, and is free to the public.

My thought bubble: Hopefully The Sink will offer grads special fruity drinks in Davis' honor.
