Truth. Purpose. Grace. Legacy.
After a year like no other, those are just some of the words of wisdom Commencement speakers shared with the Class of 2021.
“To the graduates of 2021, I have only four instructions for you. Speak your truth. Live in your purpose. Walk in grace. And inspire with your legacy,” said ESPN reporter and university alumna Maria Taylor, who gave the undergraduate Commencement address. “If you are able to aim for those four guideposts and live your life through them and with them in mind, you will be who you are meant to be.”
