INVOCATIONStéphanie Walsh Matthews

In the toil of thinking; in the serenity of books; in the messages of prophets, the songs of poets and the wisdom of interpreters;

in discoveries of continents of truth whose margins we may see; we delight in free minds and in their thinking.

In the majesty of the moral order; in the faith that right will triumph; in the courage given us when we ally ourselves to truth in

any form; in the privilege of being co-workers in good causes; we celebrate the unseen goals we share and serve.

Let us build a world safe from war and oppression, free and satisfying, one that ultimately furnishes answers for us all.

CONVOCATION THANK YOU

An event of the magnitude and importance of a graduation

ceremony does not happen without the year-long support of a

cast of hundreds across campus. Therefore, a sincere thank-you

goes out to everyone who assists before, during and after the

ceremonies; to the departments who graciously share their staff

so they can participate in the celebration of student achievement;

and to those who enthusiastically attend.

Each person on campus should be enormously proud as every

contribution is essential to the success of our Convocation events.

Sincerely,

Ann Mackay, Manager
