From the President

Dear Graduating Seniors:

This week one of the nlost important events of your lives will take place - graduation. You have been working towards this goal since your first day on campus; at times, I'm sure, you have felt that it would never come. You are to be commended for your hard work, ambition, and dedication. It has not been easy.

I now that all of us at Bryant are as proud of you as your 'amilies are; we are proud to have been given the opportunity to teach the skills you will need in the years ah ad. Use them well, and remember to continue to be pen t th many further educational opportunities that are available both at Bryant and other institutions of hi gher learning.

Although Commencement is al ways a special tinle fo r me, it is particularly so this year, sin e this will be my last Commencelnent as President of Bryant College. My thirteen years have been extremely rewarding years. I feel especially fortunate to have been able to get to know so many of you at the College.

However, although stepping down as President, I am not planning to sever ties with Bryant, and I sincerely hope that you won't either. Our alumni association is widespread and flourishing and by joining it, you will be able to maintain a close linkage with your classmates and with the College. I urge you to become an active participant.

Congratulations to you all, and good luck in your future endeavors.
