President Satterlee delivering remarks at commencement.鈥淏ut what I ask of you now is that you take the experience that you have gained here at 色花堂app,鈥 Satterlee said. 鈥淭ake it out into the world and pursue your passion. You know from where you sit today that you can achieve whatever you set your mind to. I call on you to set your mind on what fulfills you as a person. Build the life that you have dreamed of, that makes you proud, and that ultimately brings you happiness and fulfillment.鈥

鈥淲e live in a pivotal time,鈥 Kay said. 鈥淚t will be up to each of you to stand up and give voice to the voiceless, to protect those who cannot protect themselves, and to fight for what is right. As we all go on our separate ways, I challenge you to take the road less traveled. It is better to pursue your passions and to take opportunities with a fiery intensity than it is to grow old and regret previous inaction.鈥
