Perdue, Lieutenant Governor. Prayer is offered by The Reverend Mike Morris, Senate Chaplain, as follows: "Dear God, the short legislative session begins and offers a familiarity that is quite different from the ordered chaos of opening day of the longer session. "The sound of Lieutenant Governor Perdue's gavel and her voice are familiar, the seat at which we find Senator Basnight and listen to his words are familiar, the 'order of worship,' if you will, and rules of engagement are familiar. "Within this community the Senators have become colleagues, neighbors, even friends, though their ideas about how to do the business of the State may differ greatly. "We pray that this resonance of familiarity may act as a seedbed for the personal and corporate risk-taking that is so necessary to achieve greatness. "May the fresh wind of Your spirit guide these men and women every day so that You are a familiar presence with them also. Amen." PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Led by the President, members and guests remain standing and pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America.

    @UNIVGAZETTE GAZETTE.UNC.EDU VOL. 43, NO. 9 CAROLINA FACULTY AND STAFF NEWS MAY 16, 2018 Rye Barcott to graduates: ‘Do not run from the pain’ or the more than 6,000 students sitting in a sea of Carolina blue in Kenan Stadium on May 13, the F journey to graduation was anything but easy. There were demanding classes, all-nighters and count- less assignments to overcome on the way, but those chal- lenges led to a degree from Carolina. As the graduates prepare for the next phase of their careers, Marine veteran and social entrepreneur Rye Bar- cott urged them to continue taking their challenges and turning them into something useful and positive. “The truth is, many of life’s most fulfilling moments— and most accomplishments—rarely happen without some degree of pain,” he said. Barcott, the co-founder of nonprofits Carolina for Kibera and With Honor, delivered the Commencement address as Carolina celebrated the graduation of the Class of 2018. Chancellor Carol L. Folt presided over the ceremony that drew nearly 30,000 of the graduates’ family and friends, as well as Board of Governors Chair W. Louis Bis- sette, Board of Trustees Vice Chair Charles G. Duckett and General Alumni Association Board of Directors Chair Jim Delany. The degrees of 6,119 Carolina students were conferred during the 90-minute ceremony. They included 3,886 with bachelor’s, 1,596 with master’s, 262 with doctoral and 637 with professional degrees from the schools of dentistry, law, medicine, nursing and pharmacy.
