May 6, 2007		 Anne Noland Edwards ’70, retiring Co-Chair of the Board of Trustees of Pine Manor College:

"Only with time will the lives that you were meant to live unfold, only with time will you realize and appreciate the underpinning and support that you received at Pine Manor College to live those lives, and only with time will you appreciate the need to give back to the College and to the community that embraces you."
Yvonne Gomez-Carrion, Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School and Associate in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center:
"You are empowered and internally motivated young women who now have to live your own dreams. The only limits are the ones that you impose upon yourselves."
Victoria Rowell, actress, author founder and chair of the Rowell Foster Children’s Positive Plan:
"Always help those less fortunate than you are, and keep in mind that you have a reciprocal obligation to share the riches that you have received…get involved and stay active."
Philip O. Geier, Retiring Co-Chair of the Board of Trustees of Pine Manor College, and Executive Director of the Davis United World College Scholars Program:
"Think of yourselves as Commencers and apply the skills learned in the past four years to the lifelong path that lies ahead."
The Honorable Swanee Hunt, former United States Ambassador to Austria, and founding director of the Women and Public Policy Program at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University:
"Have faith in yourselves, assume the responsibility of becoming leaders, and don’t panic if you are quite yet sure what you want to do, what you want to become."
