b'Don BureauxMessage from the PresidentClass of 2022,CongratulationsYOU DID IT! These last few years have not been easy. The pandemic has taken many things from us and it continues to present real challenges. However, today we mark the return of a long-held tradition at the College as we gather to mark this important milestone in your journey to achieving fulfillment in your lives and your careers.Im so proud of the hard work, determination and perseverance you drew on to reach this daya day that commemorates the end to one chapter in your life and the exciting beginning of another. From late nights studying or editing assignments to making mistakes before mastering a new skill; each and every moment of frustration, sacrifice and triumph you experienced has brought you to this point. Ever closer to the impressive, accomplished version of you that sits here today. When you walk across the stage, I want you to reflect on how far youve come. Think about the friends youve made and the people who stood beside you, the experiences you had and the new abilities you gained. As you do, know that with this solid foundation youve built, youre ready to launch into the limitless possibilities that await you in your future.'
