Dear 2021 Graduates: I wish to congratulate you on your achievement this May, especially as we have all struggled with the Pandemic that has altered our lives so dearly. Nevertheless, your hard work and determination has truly paid off. While this may not be the way in which you wished to celebrate your achievements, please know we are all truly proud of you. I hope that you take the time to thank all of the people who made your education and degree possible. Although we are living in a difficult situation and time, please know that as an institution we realize that your accomplishments are noteworthy. While it is common to give pieces of advice on days like this, I can only offer you a few humble words. One is to be thankful for what you have. Second, know that times of trouble and turmoil have always been with us and we always get through them. Third, be willing to use all of experiences to make you better and stronger. Finally, give back to society in whatever way you can, we will be thankful for your generosity. I again wish you the best of luck and please keep in touch.
