Frank Brandeis Gilbert (above), the grandson of Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis, received an honorary degree at Brandeis University’s commencement on Sunday. University officials said it had extra significance because this year the university is celebrating the 100th anniversary of Louis Brandeis’s appointment to the Supreme Court, on which he served from 1916 until 1939. Brandeis University also conferred honorary degrees on Julieanna Richardson, founder of “The HistoryMakers,’’ MIT professor Mildred Dresselhaus, filmmaker Agnieszka Holland, and abstract artist Jack Whitten. . . . Meanwhile, Valerie Jarrett (left), senior adviser to President Obama, delivered the commencement address at Northfield Mount Hermon, from which she graduated in 1974. Jarrett said last Tuesday was a typical day in her life, with meetings on the Zika virus, criminal-justice reform, the budget, the president’s trip to Asia and upcoming summit on gun violence, and the epidemic of sexual assault on college campuses. “All that before lunch,’’ Jarrett said. “See, lunch is just an expression we use that means ‘noon.’ We don’t actually have lunch — we subsist on Diet Coke. Just kidding, please don’t tell the first lady I said that.’’
