May 23 (UPI) -- Vice President Mike Pence is expected to deliver a commencement speech Wednesday at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy.
The vice president is scheduled to speak at 11:30 a.m. EDT.
"Heading to Connecticut this morning -- honored to deliver the commencement address today at the USCG Academy. Semper Paratus!" Pence tweeted Wednesday.
Security will be tight at the academy in New London, Conn., as Pence arrives to deliver the speech to the 137th class of officers.
"At this time we are unaware of any sort of protest but as with any commencement the Coast Guard Academy main priority is ensuring the safety of visitors that are coming on board and departing the institution," Nicole Foguth, of the U.S. Coast Guard, told WFSB.
President Donald Trump delivered the speech last year.
