In their own words
Even if you were on campus to celebrate this year’s graduates, you probably didn’t catch every speech. Here are a few highlights:
COL L EGE OF AR TS AND SCI ENCE S (AR T S) Jian Ping
Producer, filmmaker, and author of Mulberry Child: A Memoir of China
“As you are about to start a new job, attend graduate schools, or just take some time off to figure out what you will do next, there will be difficulties, confusion, and even rejections. These experi- ences, however, will eventually benefit you—make you stronger and more appreciative of the steps you have taken to get where you want to go. Look around you for your role models. They are not necessarily superstars or superheroes, but ordinary people who you interact with daily. Confucius said: ‘Three people walk- ing together, one of them is good enough to be my teacher.’ Find your role models by observing their behavior. “

Thomas J. Dart (JD ’87) Cook County sheriff
“Far too many times in our history, things were done because that’s the way they were always done. Or because that’s what someone was told to do. But what if that way is wrong—or caus- ing an injustice? That’s when it’s up to someone to stand up and say, ‘Wait. This isn’t right.’ And as I look out into this audience today, I ask you: Which voice will you be?”

“To overcome poverty, our task must be to raise the standards for student achievement in the face of increasing global compe- tition. We must prepare students for their future, not our past. And their future is high-tech, digital, green, and smart.”
