 Hello. I'm Marion Underwood, the Dean of the College of Health and Human Sciences. Graduating from Purdue University represents a significant milestone. Throughout history, generations of Boilermakers have left their mark in small steps and giant leaps. Today, you continue in those footsteps. While your Purdue commencement may be different than what you had imagined, the goal you set out to accomplish is not. The work you did and the steps you took as a Purdue student will always be evident in the Purdue diploma that bears your name. Reprocussions of the COVID-19 pandemic might prevent or delay you from pursuing your post-graduation plans. So, I want to share some advice from John Wooden, a 1932 standout Purdue student athlete, Navy veteran, and successful head coach at UCLA who captured 10 national championships. Wooden said, don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do. I hope you will always remember that you are a Boilermaker, and Boilermakers are relentless. So, do not give up. Keep going, even if it is not in the direction you had originally planned. You have much to offer. Find that place where you can make a difference and start making lives better. Your time as a Purdue student has ended, but your journey as a Purdue Boilermaker and your persistent pursuit of the next giant leap continues. Congratulations on your graduation. Hail Purdue!
