Charlie Sheen is so excellent at winning that he already had a photo shoot of what it will look like when he receives an honorary degree, even though he won’t actually come to Washington University until May.

Charlie Sheen is so excellent at winning that he already had a photo shoot of what it will look like when he receives an honorary degree, even though he won’t actually come to Washington University until May.

Chancellor Wrighton announced yesterday that Charlie Sheen will be giving this year’s Commencement address.

Sheen will also receive an honorary degree in Chemistry for his innovative use of tiger blood.

University officials said that Sheen was picked from a short list of candidates including President Barack Obama, Facebook creator and Time Magazine “Person of the Year” Mark Zuckerberg, and Academy Award-winner Natalie Portman.

“We just thought he was the best role model for our students,” said Chancellor Mark Wrighton. “He describes himself as ‘bi-winning’; I can only imagine the potential of our students if they could do everything twice as well.”

University officials are also considering offering Sheen a temporary appointment in the chemistry department, where he will work on maximizing the potential of the human body. He will also collaborate closely with the biology department on human genetic engineering with Adonis DNA.

Sheen hopes to use chemistry in more ways than one during his time on campus. He would like to add a new member to his pack of so-called “goddesses.”

“This would be a great opportunity for me to find some new love,” said Sheen. “I am looking for a nice pre-med girl who would pound seven-gram rocks with me. That would be a good addition.”

Students are excited to see the now eponymous actor on campus.

“I have so much respect for that man. If I were his goddess, I’d stand by him day and night,” junior Eyewanna Mann said.

As Wrighton predicted, they are looking to Sheen as a role model.

“Dude, that man is awesome. Seriously, if I could live his life, I would have dropped out of Wash. U. after my first semester,” senior Jon Bamm said.

A survey of the senior class showed that 93 percent approve of the University’s decision to bring Sheen to campus.

Sheen is not surprised by this overwhelming support.

“What can I say? I’m bi-winning. That is all there is to it,” Sheen said.

According to Wrighton, Sheen will be arriving on campus in late April to acclimate to university life.

Sheen offers a different explanation.

“I hear college parties are sick. Fraternities, here I come. I’ll teach them all things that they can’t even begin to comprehend.”
