reminded guests that this cohort of students has
been on quite a journey personally, emotionally,

taught our students some of the greatest life lessons.
The ability to keep moving, no matter the challenges
presented; the ability to focus amidst the ongoing
noise around us; and the ability to succeed when
it was the easiest to give up. The class of 2021
showcased to us all the powerhouse of perseverance,
resilience, commitment, agility, endless possibilities and
hope for the future. A class that will push boundaries
to be the change in the smallest of ways, making the
world around them a better and happier place, brining
a little magic wherever the road leads them. We are
in the new age where change is the only constant. We
encourage you, the class of 2021 to embrace it, be
inspired by it, to push boundaries, to innovate and find
your own unique way to set your norms to be who you
are as unique individuals.”
