Of the Vaughn College of aeronautic engineering, aviation and technology. His speech focused on technological advances in the Aviation Industry and how innovation is a necessity. Well, good morning. And thank you. Thank you for this exceptional recognition, and i cant tell you how much it means to me. Thank you, chairman mckee, and thanks to all of you parents who have been through so much to see your sons and daughters here today. Thanks to the distinguished guests, faculty, administrators and family. Most of all, thanks to you, the students. Its an honor, and it is a privilege to be addressing the Vaughn College class of 2016. Now, i know the road to get here probably wasnt easy. Many of you, im told, are part of the first generation of your family to go to college and to reach this milestone. I know what it feels like. That was my story as well. I grew up in a little place called riverside, california. Although both of my parents were born in this country, neither of them spoke engl
Endless wall along our borders and blame our challenges on immigrants, that does not just run counter to our history as the world melting pot. It contradicts the evidence that our growth and our innovation and our dynamism has always been spurred by our ability to attract strivers from every corner of the globe.

We traditionally have valued those things, but if you were listening to todays political debate, you might wonder where this strain of antiintellectualism came from. [laughter] [applause] president
To go to college and reach this milestone. I know what it feels like. That was my story as well. I grew up in a little place called riverside, california. Although both my parents were born in this country, neither of them spoke english until they went to school. My dad did not finish high school. But my parents were big, big believers in the power of education. They instilled that belief into their children, my Three Sisters and myself. They taught us that learning equals opportunity. There was never a question in their mind as to whether we were going to go to college. We would and we did. What i remember the most clearly from my Graduation Day was the look on my parents faces. They were so proud and a bit relieved that they could call me a college graduate. They were thrilled about what that accomplishment meant for future generations of our family. I see that same look on the faces of many parents, many siblings and you, the graduates. I know that getting here required hard work an
