COMMENCEMENT
GREETINGS FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear Graduates,
Today, as you begin the next step in your professional and personal lives, I
applaud your accomplishments, and on behalf of the Dominican University
community, I wish you all success and happiness in the future.
Commencement is indeed a moment to celebrate accomplishments. It is also
an occasion to be a bit reflective about mission. Today Dominican provides
you with a degree. Hopefully, you take away much more—a sense of self-
worth, a curiosity about learning and a commitment not only to succeed, but
also to serve.
In veritas and in caritas, may all your dreams come true.
Sincerely,
Donna M. Carroll
President
Queridos graduados,
A medida que comienzan el próximo paso en su vida profesional y personal,
aplaudo sus logros y en nombre de la comunidad de Dominican University, les
deseo mucho éxito y felicidad en el futuro.
La distribución de diplomas, de hecho, es un momento para celebrar los
logros. También es una ocasión para reflexionar un poco sobre la misión de
nuestra universidad. Hoy Dominican les proporciona un título. Ojalá se lleven
mucho más que eso: un sentido de autoestima, una curiosidad por aprender y
un compromiso no solo para tener éxito, sino también para servir.
En veritas y en caritas, que todos sus sueños se hagan realidad.
Atentamente,
Donna M. Carroll
Presidenta
