Sandra Day O'Connor
Madam Chancellor
Thank you President gravely. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you. KQ very touching, you're gonna make me cry, don't come back.
I have treasured my connection with this wonderful university. The more I see if it, the more I like it, you're graduating from a really special University. And the professor's here are wonderful, they're tough. They really care about teaching you something that will stay with you. I've been enormously impressed with it. I've been close to several University, Steve. And this one is truly special, particularly in the quality and dedication of the faculty. And it's not an unattractive place to be is it? It's great. And we finally had a commencement on a day when it isn't raining. So
I care about each of you and want you to have a wonderful future. As someone said, on the way in, you may have several children, you may even be married more than once. But you're only going to have one commencement from a university. And this is it for many up some of you will go on for graduate degrees and run through it again. But you will only go through this one time. And it matters a lot to you, it matters to us. We hope that in the future, you will remain remain with good ties to this university that you will come back from time to time, and lend your support and that you will succeed in following a good course of action in the future. If you manage to provide some time in your future to public service, you will make me particularly proud of you. Usually you can work some of that into whatever you do. And I hope you will. Our nation needs help. And it needs it needs help now, and you'll be able to give it in a variety of ways. But I'll be watching and I'm very proud of all of you, and thank you for letting me be your Chancellor
