As we conclude this season of graduations and commencement speeches it makes one reflective. I realize each year brings about a new class of unique graduates anxious to begin their next stage of life. Individuals like no other, filled with special gifts and talents that will have a profound impact on this world. But I think the most unifying factor in all the graduating classes through all the years is the hope they represent. They stand and celebrate their work and we congratulate them knowing that the future looks brighter because they exist. I know witnessing this hope always makes me optimistic about the future and glad we take the time to celebrate their accomplishments.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CLASS OF 2012
