Scripps College Alumna Offers Advice about Commencement Addresses: |
|
|
| ^ Whitney Eriksen, Scripps ’09 was one of eight sages who offered advice about what matters in a commencement address. Erickson said that commencement speakers must inspire graduates, family, friends, faculty and others – but they must lose the clichés: |
|
"Give your own advice in your own words. We know today is the first day of the rest of our lives. Last year, for example, Legally Blonde screenwriter Kirsten Smith told Scripps College’s Class of 2008, ‘Today is the beginning of your Act 2.’ She nailed it." |
