“When I first stepped through the doors of this noble institution, I thought that I was here to get my degree, however I got more than I bargained for as this school offered a holistic approach to my development….as we hurl our caps virtually, we will leave the comfort of this facility to charge new paths, (and) navigate opportunity-filled waters to build our lives, careers and the industry.”

“As you sail forward, you’ll encounter good days, bad days and an array of challenges and at some point, find yourself in the middle of a storm feeling like your life is the epitome of Murphy’s Law - the waves of life’s trials and tribulations bashing against you but in times of ‘dis-ease’ I remind you there are two options either you can stop and stay where you are, or you can continue sailing through to the end.”
