LETTER FROM BETZ

April 24, 2017
Dear Graduates, Bravo! I join with you and family and friends in applauding you, our Spring 2017 graduates. Today, I encourage you to stop and savor your achievement and enjoy the celebration and joy that surround you, for your accomplishment says more than you may know. Your Central diploma is an outward sign of your commitment and persistence. It says to the world, “I can make the appropriate sacrifices. I can learn. I can meet the challenge. I can succeed.� Your graduation is a clear manifestation of your own empowerment. You did it, and we are truly proud of you. Be encouraged by what you have accomplished. Now imagine what you are capable of doing. We believe your Central education has given you more than certain skill sets. We believe that you leave here with sharpened abilities to think and act creatively, critically and ethically. You can become the engaged citizens and leaders in whatever community you choose, whatever field you pursue. More importantly, we hope your Central experience has instilled in you a passion for learning, a habit that will be part of you throughout your life. We hope that you leave knowing how to perceive problems and find solutions, and to meet a changing world with a culture of learning that will enrich your life. With your graduation, you have changed your future and that of others who will be influence by you. This is our hope for you. Know, too, that you are always welcomed here, either to further your learning experiences or as a loyal alum. You are a member of the UCO learning community regardless of where your life takes you. Finally, don't pass up this opportunity to thank those in your life whose encouragement and love helped you in countless ways to reach this plateau. Tell them today how much they mean to you. You can make a difference; you can be the change you wish to see in the world around you. We believe in you. UCO President Don Betz
