“Let your curiosity lead you on a wild adventure to do what only you can do,” said Korins in his address to the approximately 4,200 undergraduate students and 16,000 family, friends and faculty at Warren P. McGuirk Alumni Stadium.
Graduate student speaker and combat veteran Dan Gessen tells fellow graduates, “The world changes through individuals like you.”
The future leaders of research and advancement of knowledge were celebrated before more than 3,000 family, friends and colleagues in an event that marked the start of three days of Commencement events.
The graduates will shape the beauty, health and sustainability of the natural environment, steward for the common good and answer pressing needs for sustainable food systems.
