Message from Diane Recinos, EdD
Dear Graduates,
Congratulations – you did it!
Today, you join the ranks of over 65,000 Berkeley College alumni from
around the globe. Now is your time to make your mark on
the world.
There will never be more possibilities for your future than at this very
moment. Face what is next with the same grit, strength of character, and
unwavering faith in yourselves and your abilities that have brought you
here to the finish line.
Your future is just starting. Be fearless!
Take time to celebrate this moment. Think of your family and your
friends who have helped you reach this milestone. Think of your
classmates and your professors, and remember how what seemed
impossible alone was made possible by your Berkeley College family.
And once you have your diploma in hand, I ask you: What’s next?
Whatever you choose for your next chapter, dream big. Pursue something that lights a fire inside of you, because the
greatest successes can only be sustained if there is the passion to support them.
Berkeley College has a 92-year mission of empowering students to achieve lifelong success in dynamic careers. You are part
of this important legacy.
Learning is a lifelong endeavor. Continue to learn and grow, and most of all, to pay it forward.
Remember the lessons you have learned, the relationships you have built, and the challenges you have overcome during
your time at Berkeley College, and let these lessons fuel your drive to create a brighter future for yourself and for those
around you.
I know you will make Berkeley College proud.
