You have invested much time and work, and I hope you are proud to receive your Carolina degree. I am sure your family members and friends are thrilled to see you graduate. I speak for the University's faculty and staff when I say that we are proud of you, too. The 2002 commencement feels different from others in the recent past. All of us received a harsh reminder last September of how tenuous human life can be. Yet, in the days immediately after September 1 1 , Carolina students affirmed life by seizing opportunities - in classes, in informal dis- cussions and in the arts - to interpret and assimilate what happened on the day our nation was attacked. Daily life in Chapel Hill has returned to calm, but we now live with a new sense that peace is more uncertain than we ever knew. It is also a great blessing. My hope for you is that you will live each day, through good times and hard times, with a sense of purpose and fulfillment and optimism. If your education has strengthened the foundation on which you build your life, then I take terrific satisfaction in that. And as you build a career or a family or both, I hope your Carolina degree will be a means for you to enjoy personal prosperity - and much more. The stated mission of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is teaching, research, and service. If the desire to render public service can become embedded in your core beliefs and values, the world will be a better place for all of us. It does not take much, even when we are very busy, to make a difference in our community and perhaps in the life of someone who desperately needs a hand. I wish you good fortune in the years ahead. Please remember Carolina, and come back to Chapel Hill whenever you can.
