New York, NY (March 29, 2017) – MTVU today joined forces with Jon Bon Jovi to give students a chance to have the rock icon perform acoustically at their 2017 commencement ceremony.

Beginning today, students can participate by tweeting their best college moments using #JBJReunionContest and tagging their school.  The promotion will run through Sunday, April 23 at 11:59 p.m. ET/PT, with the selected school to be revealed the first week of May across all MTVU platforms including Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat.  The performance will air on MTVU in June.

Bon Jovi's new song “Reunion” from their #1 debuting album, This House Is Not For Sale, was first performed by Jon Bon Jovi in 2015 when he was invited to speak at Rutgers University's commencement. The song, which he wrote with that graduating class in mind, is a thoughtful, optimistic send-off with inspiring lyrics until everyone meets again at their "Reunion.”

Bon Jovi is currently on their This House Is Not For Sale Tour, which has generated overwhelming reviews that have noted the band's vitality. The raves underscore what fans have long known and the box office has repeatedly shown - Bon Jovi is truly one of the greatest rock bands in the world.
