We are living in extraordinary times and more than ever, you

have the ability to change the world with your unique talents,

abilities and knowledge. Today’s problems are very hard, but

seated among you is the scientist who has the potential to

uncover a new treatment for Alzheimer’s; the social work

major who can address the growing population of people who

are homeless, and the government and history major who has

the ability to go on and create policies to reduce food

insecurity in our society.

According to CNBC, "Every minute, we are seeing about half-

million attempts of hacking in cyber space."

Seated among you are students studying cybersecurity,

systems and computer science that could create new ways to

maintain safety for our businesses and organizations to

combat the cyber attacks that are threatening our economic

and financial systems and structures.

With the challenges facing our nation and the world today, we

need each and every one of you like Christa McAuliffe and

Toni Braxton and the many others who made an impact on

the lives of others and their communities—striving for

excellence.
