We applaud President Biden and Congress for passing COVID relief, including desperately needed state and local government funding and expanded vaccinations. The American Rescue Plan was a vital first step but as state and local leaders we know the everyday reality facing our communities. There is still much more to be done to deliver the recovery our communities need and deserve, while tackling the interconnected crises of climate change, economic inequality, and racial injustice. The country needs a large-scale jobs and recovery package to put millions back to work. We can make transformative investments in sustainable infrastructure and buildings, clean energy, and clean manufacturing to reduce pollution, address environmental injustice, and prepare for the threats of climate change. Clean energy is the fastest-growing industry in America. It can revitalize domestic manufacturing and expand high-quality union jobs to help rebuild the middle class.

I challenge each of you receiving a degree today to distinguish yourself as a member of the Carolina family, carrying the reputa- tion of UNC-Chapel Hill through your activities and accomplishments. You embody the elements of a sound and varied education: a critical mind, a discerning spirit, high values, a sense of commitment, and the privilege of service. Allow me to add a personal note about service. Not only is service a privilege, it is a noble calling. Be mindful that education is for a higher pur- pose than economic well-being. It instills within you the realization that suc- cess will be measured in part by your commitment to community and by the desire to make possible opportunities that meet or exceed those that others made possible for you. To the parents, faculty, counselors, religious leaders, and friends who have encouraged and challenged the students assembled here, sincere thanks for fostering the spirit, intellect and imagination that brought today's honorees to this moment.
