Determination and excellence can be seen in the individual stories of the 19,000-plus graduates who will gather on our campus next month with classmates, families, and friends. They will be celebrated as 65,000 people gather for this special recognition. This year, more than ever, it is important to keep the focus on celebrating our graduates and their accomplishments, and our belief in their capacity to change the world that awaits them.
