And all of you, regardless of your place of origin, or your
circumstances, you are on a promising pathway that not all
who desire higher education are able to realize.
The National Information Center for Higher Education reports
that in 2015 just 35.6% of 18-24 year olds were enrolled in
college.
So students you have achieved a great deal already, and you
are on a positive trajectory towards a bright future with
opportunity to expand your knowledge of the world and reach
a level of learning that few are afforded.
No other time in your life will afford this same type of
opportunity, to be among such a community of learners. So
take advantage of all that you have here at BSU – the time to
explore various fields, attend a performance, take an elective
course just because you are passionate about a topic, enroll
in a study-abroad opportunity and explore the world outside of
this region, or visit with a faculty member to delve deeper into
a subject.
