As I reflect on this month’s graduation ceremonies for our
students graduating from Commonwealth University, I am filled with pride and
gratitude. My colleagues and I joined with the friends, families and supporters
of our graduates to celebrate their academic accomplishments, dedication, and
persistence. We are immensely proud!
I am pleased to share a few of the thoughts and well-wishes
that I had the honor of sharing with our graduates on commencement day.
The Journey
Each student’s journey is unique to them. But all share the
commonality of reaching this milestone together as the class of 2024. This
pivotal moment is only possible because of your hard work, grit, and
perseverance. Without the support of loved ones and mentors today would not be
possible. Cherish the friendships you forged and relish in the moment. Take
time to reflect, celebrate, and be proud of what you have accomplished. Along
the way, each of the experiences you’ve faced on your journey has shaped you
into the person you are today – ready to step into the world with confidence
and purpose.
Embrace the Future
As you embark on the next chapter of your life, know that
the world is full of opportunities waiting for you to seize. Whether you’re
continuing your education, starting a new job, or taking some time to find your
path, embrace each moment with an open mind and a courageous heart.
Remember, it’s okay to feel a mix of excitement and
uncertainty. Change can be daunting, but it’s also the doorway to growth,
adventures, and mountains to climb. Trust in your abilities and the knowledge
you’ve gained. You've proven that you can rise to the occasion and overcome any
obstacle.
Always stay curious, build connections, embrace failure, and
stay True to Yourself.
Congratulations to our 2024 Commonwealth University Graduates
