Family, friends, and faculty all came together to honor and celebrate both Master's and Ph.D. candidates at the Fall 2024 recognition ceremony and reception.

On behalf of the University community, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the Fall 2024 recognition ceremony and reception for graduates. You reach the highest levels of academic and personal excellence, and I am in awe of your strength, resilience, and determination. Today, we honor not just what you've achieved, but who you've become. Today, you step into a world that needs your unique talent, your creativity, and your vision. Your purpose is greater than your plans. Plans might change. But purpose endures. When you align your purpose with service, with love and with hope, the impact you can make is immeasurable. You stand at the threshold of limitless possibilities, equipped with knowledge and shaped by your experiences that have prepped you to step boldly into the future. As you leave here today, remember this. Your journey is not just about the destination, but about the lives you touch and the impact you make along the way.
