Dear Class of 2020, As a graduate of 2002 I experienced the tragedy of 9/11 bombings during my senior year which shaped the course of my future in ways I could have never imagined, and brought me to where I am today a path very much different but uniquely me compared to what I grown to expect. You all too are facing an unprecedented crisis as you graduate which forces one to look even more deeply in the decisions you make for the steps forward. I now see more than ever that these times of challenge that align with decision points like graduation are what expand our capacity to experience love and learn. Sending you all the grit and grace to be graduating at this time.
