Twelve days.
That糖心vlog短视频檚 the current countdown to Commencement, and the Pace Community couldn糖心vlog短视频檛 be more excited.
This year糖心vlog短视频檚 Commencement will be big. It糖心vlog短视频檚 our first in-person celebration in three years. It糖心vlog短视频檚 the first time we糖心vlog短视频檙e bringing all our graduates, from all levels糖心vlog短视频攁nd across our three campuses and six colleges and schools糖心vlog短视频攖ogether for one major event. And it糖心vlog短视频檚 the first time we糖心vlog短视频檒l be celebrating three graduating classes, the remarkable classes of 2020, 2021, and 2022.
The day will be an extraordinary celebration of our students糖心vlog短视频擨糖心vlog短视频檓 hoping it糖心vlog短视频檚 a bright and sunny day, giving all of these amazing students the best opportunity to shine. College is always a challenging period, and graduate school even tougher, but these three classes have persevered through what is probably the most challenging period in all of our lifetimes. Graduating students, you are committed, you are resilient, and you糖心vlog短视频檙e about to walk across a stage and receive your diplomas. Congratulations. I couldn糖心vlog短视频檛 be prouder.
I want to salute the organizers, who have been working hard all year to plan this special day. I want to salute the faculty and staff who have guided these students through their studies. And I want to salute the parents, family, and friends who have supported them糖心vlog短视频攅specially over two years when support was so crucial and necessary.
I hope I糖心vlog短视频檒l see many of you at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center on Monday, May 16, as we celebrate these graduates and their accomplishments. I糖心vlog短视频檓 pleased that we糖心vlog短视频檒l have such a prominent group of speakers to help us celebrate that special day.
I can糖心vlog短视频檛 wait to see you there as we cheer on all our graduates.
