 As I look out at you, Class of 2019, I know that if this world is in your hands, it is in good hands. May the path you have forged here be just the start of your path breaking, a path that you will make as you travel onward, and that I hope will always lead you back here to share your story. You'll join over 38,000 alumni who are actively making this world a better place. We came from all over the world, but the one thing that we all have in common is our perseverance. We never were willing to settle and always broke boundaries around ourselves, our community and our campus to reach new heights, Maryline herself never even dreamt of. So congratulations, you've made it, and you will undoubtedly go on to have many successes and a few setbacks, but you will only ever have one life, own it, live it, love it. Let me repeat the Edmund Burke quote, all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good people do nothing. Please take that with you as you decide what you are going to do with your life. Now more than ever, we need people who are willing to call out in justice. I cannot imagine a group of people better equipped to do that than the remarkable graduates of Mount Holyoke's class of 2019.
