Good afternoon. Provost Houlihan, thank you for that warm introduction. Chairman Tully, members of the Board of Trustees, President Dugan, distinguished guests, members of the administration, faculty and staff, and fellow graduates. I'm honored to be here today to represent the winter class of 2016
[clapping]
So first off, congratulations!
Today, we flip the page and mark an end to another chapter of
Our story. As I look out into the crowd before me, I sense a wave of emotions from everyone present. For family and friends, the sense of pride you have in your graduate's accomplishments is unmeasurable. For faculty, another class you have successfully educated and mentored throughout our time
Yet nothing - nothing - can top the feelings that we graduates have right now at this moment. We made it here in one piece. We survived all those exams, lectures and research papers that we once thought would never finish
It all started a couple years back when we opened our acceptance letters and decided to attend St. Francis College. The small college of big dreams. The college that has granted all of us amazing opportunities and opened doors for us in numerous ways
St. Francis, a liberal arts college, has given us the tools we need to go forward and succeed. St. Francis not only prepared all of us students to pass our GMATS, GREs, CPAs, or any other obstacle we will face after this day, but gave us confidence to touch the lives of others and help those when needed
The qualities we have gained throughout our years here have given us an advantage after we leave this campus. We are part of a very small percentage of college graduates who have been exposed to more than just our textbooks. Molded into well-rounded and confident individuals we are ready to start the next page of the new chapter of our story

I've been working on two films simultaneously, and... so... uh... The Ultimation [?] is giving me a lot of... breathing room from... A Midsummer Night's, going from, uh, black and white to color film. And, um... y-y'know, a couple of the page reads [?], we read back and forth, and that-that's healthy. Um, keep [?] a certain freshness... So...

[?] will return!

[?] and, y'know, the legend has it that those... young filmmakers who grew up in the age of television have been trapped into... these technological advances - uh, it's not something that interests me, personally, I think it's wonderful -
