Hello graduates, families, faculty, and friends. Graduates, today is about you. You've put in the
time, the effort, and the sacrifice to reach this incredible milestone, and I could not be
more excited for what lies ahead. You're stepping into a world that needs your energy, your ideas,
and your leadership. The education you've gained has prepared you not just for a career,
but for a life of purpose. And as you move into the workforce, I hope you'll think not only
about what you do, but how you can lift others along the way. Your education will open doors of
opportunity that extend beyond the workplace. Your communities need you. Your willingness to show up,
to contribute, to serve, and to make things better will make a difference for everyone. Whether
it's through your profession, volunteering your time, or simply being a good neighbor,
you have the ability to strengthen the places you call home. Utah's future is bright because
of you. Thank you for the example you set to others. Congratulations, class of 2026.
We're proud of you and we can't wait to see the meaningful contributions that you will make.
