Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney will speak at the commencement at Regent University, the school founded by religious broadcaster Pat Robertson.

Romney will address the graduates on May 5.

Robertson has not endorsed Romney, and Regent University does not endorse political candidates, Regent spokeswoman Sherri Stocks said.

"At Regent, we often invite a variety of leaders to speak to our campus," Stocks said.

Founded in 1978, Regent has some 5,000 students studying on campuses in Virginia Beach and Washington, D.C., and also via online distance education.

Last year, Sen. John McCain, another Republican hopeful, spoke at Jerry Falwell's Liberty University.
