| "Your education will be your greatest asset, but you must maintain it. There are very few people from whom you can't learn, but you will need to reach out, to listen, and to observe. Make the most of the place where you live. Find the friends and mentors and partners that want you to be the best you can be, and when they can they will help you get there - and do the same for them." |
| Patti M. Peterson, executive director of the Council for International Exchange of Scholars |
| "I am counting on the enlarged perspective of your education to remind you frequently that you live in a global village and that by virtue of your knowledge you will feel a special obligation to consider the rest of the world in all that you do. If your generation can effectively reach out to the other inhabitants of the global village with sensitivity, generosity, and humility and require your political leaders to do so as well, we will live in a better, safer world." |
