Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C.: 2018 Graduate School Commencement Charge and Benediction
Dean Carlson, Provost Burish, Vice-Chancellor Richardson, family and friends, welcome and thank you for being here today as we celebrate the Graduate School class of 2018.
Graduates, you did it, and this is your day. But, while this accomplishment is truly your own, you know you didn’t do it all on your own. You may have done the studying, but your families and loved ones did the sweating and the stressing along with you. They cheered you on at your successes and cheered you up at your setbacks. They are sitting behind you today, and they have been behind you every step of the way to help you reach this milestone. So, to the mothers and fathers, siblings and spouses, friends and relatives: Thank you and congratulations. This day also belongs to you. Graduates, let’s applaud your families and loved ones who helped you in what you have achieved.…
