My favorite two days of the academic year are our spring and fall commencement celebrations. It is on those days that we celebrate the handiwork of this university.
On May 19 we will be validating the competence of the class of 2007. I am very much looking forward to seeing the proud faces of families and friends as I shake the hands of our newest graduates. Also on that day:
- Richard Meeusen will provide the commencement address. He is an energetic and successful alum who will, no doubt, inspire us all to reach higher and never give up on anything that matters.
- Sara Mertz will be the student speaker. Sara will be a summa cum laude graduate with a degree in finance and accounting.
- A total of 1,243 undergraduates and 176 graduates will receive their diplomas.
- Many of our undergraduates will be the first in their families to earn a baccalaureate degree.
I look forward to seeing you there.
