On behalf of the University of Central Florida, I am very excited to extend my
congratulations and best wishes to the Class of 2021. You are graduating at an
unprecedented historic moment, where you have proven that Knights can
always be counted on to rise to every occasion.
When someone says, “Go Knights,” I always hear the reply, “Charge On!”
It is such a fitting philosophy for this university, because that’s what Knights do.
And I know you will continue to Charge On and make a profound mark on this
world — tackling grand challenges through your unwavering service to others
and to society.
I would also like to give a special thanks to the loved ones of our graduates for
their support. Whether they are a parent, spouse, child, friend or other family
member, their guidance, patience and sacrifice contributed more to this
milestone than you know.
Graduates, you have been exceptional ambassadors of this university, and I
