In that spirit, Charge On, Class of 2022!
The degrees we celebrate today were
the fruits of your long labor, often under
extraordinary circumstances. The effort you
gave attending classes, discovering in labs,
creating with faculty and classmates, and
working through internships — they led you
to this moment and to this new beginning.
Elements of today’s commencement
ceremony have their roots in the 12th
century. You are part of an age-old tradition
of scholarship, learning and creation.
But you are executing this tradition in
revolutionary ways. You are among the
most accomplished, diverse and innovative
graduates in history. You will develop the
solutions, technologies, philosophies and
relationships that will drive a better future.
You will change the world like no generation
before — I have no doubt.
Our graduates have joined a network of
344,000+ alumni. Together, you will be
ambassadors and supporters of this great
university. The old saying is that there is
power in numbers. I encourage you to use it
wisely in service to those around you and to
help those coming up behind you.
Alexander N. Cartwright, Ph.D.
I would also like to give a special thank you President
to the loved ones of our graduates. Your
support and encouragement contributed
more to this milestone than you know. We
are grateful to you.
