“Graduates, today marks a significant milestone in your lives,” said Dr. Larry L. Cockrum, university president, during the ceremonies. “You have persevered through years of hard work and dedication and now stand here, ready to take on the world. I am honored to congratulate each and every one of you on your outstanding achievements.”

Cockrum offered heartfelt advice to the newest graduates: in short, to dream big, work hard, make mistakes and always be kind. He said those were the lessons that have gotten him through his life and made all the difference and he encouraged graduates to try it for themselves.
