COMMENCEMENT 2019 1 Dear Graduates, Faculty, Family, and Friends,

Welcome to the 218th Commencement at the University of Vermont! Today, we carry on the centuries-old tradition of convening the University community to honor our graduates and celebrate their many achievements. We also take this moment to recognize the many parents and loved ones who supported and encouraged our graduates these past years. Today, we celebrate you as well.

Our graduates have much to be proud of as they reach this defining moment of completion and an exciting new beginning. They have immersed in a multitude of opportunities for discovery and development offered in the vibrant academic ecosystem of UVM. They have started and nurtured lifelong relationships with teachers, mentors, and friends. They are stepping out into the world prepared for the explorations and opportunities ahead, leaders and learners in the spirit of engaged citizenship for which UVM is known.

Graduates, today is your day! We celebrate you—all that you have achieved and all you are looking forward to— as you take this energy of engagement and potential into the world. Know that however far away you are, you always will have a home at UVM. I hope you will be active alumni, sharing your experiences with our students and continuing your vital presence in the wide UVM community.

Congratulations to the class of 2019!
