Commencement

Engage one another in genuine trust and integrity, and cheerfully, wisely, and vibrantly expand our united community of courageous global citizens.

Public reasoning can contribute richly to making the world a safer and more secure place, as well as helping it to pursue global justice.

I will be following your progress with the keenest interest, for my belief in your success in life is absolute.

Believe that the impossible can be made possible. You’re born with imagination. Use it to spread ideas that move us forward.

It is my cherished hope that you will be forthright and unfettered in opening your hearts and minds as you encounter priceless new friends.

Value and wealth . . . [are] created by imaginative individuals taking risks, starting new companies with new ideas.

Master your role in the great drama of life in a way true to yourself until the very end, bringing forth the creative energy you honed here at SUA.

Those who have a prime point, a source of consistent renewal and inspiration, are able to remain strong even in the face of the most difficult challenges.

The most prized of any treasure that I can bequeath to the future is you, the students of SUA.

Every contribution counts no matter how large or small, but you must, first of all, be aware and be determined.
