A MESSAGE from the PRESIDENT

Congratulations on your graduation from Butler University!

On behalf of the Butler University community, I would like to congratulate each one of our accomplished graduates. I commend you for the hard work, dedication, and perseverance that have brought you here today. We are proud of you, and we are grateful to have had you as members of our campus community. All of you—through your unique talents and strengths—have made Butler a better place.

I would like to recognize the parents and family members of our graduates. Your guidance and support have made all the difference for today’s diploma recipients. They have earned this honor, in large part, because of you. We share in your joy as you celebrate this milestone in their lives.

I also want to thank our talented faculty and staff members. Because of your dedication, our graduates are now ready to embrace the exciting opportunities and challenges ahead. They have received an exceptional education in a vibrant learning environment, and they are prepared to become future mentors, critical thinkers, and agents for change.

Graduates, “The Butler Way”—or that special manner in which we all pursue excellence in our own areas of talent for the greater good of our communities and society—is now a part of who you are. As new alumni, you personify the Butler spirit of achievement, and it speaks volumes about the outstanding people you are and the great things you will do.

The Butler family will always welcome you back home, and we hope you will visit us often.

James M. Danko, President Butler University
