Hello graduates, families, faculty, and friends. 
Graduates, today is about you. You've put in the

00:00:06.800 --> 00:00:12.080
time, the effort, and the sacrifice to reach 
this incredible milestone, and I could not be

00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:17.440
more excited for what lies ahead. You're stepping 
into a world that needs your energy, your ideas,

00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:22.400
and your leadership. The education you've 
gained has prepared you not just for a career,

00:00:22.400 --> 00:00:27.520
but for a life of purpose. And as you move into 
the workforce, I hope you'll think not only

00:00:27.520 --> 00:00:33.120
about what you do, but how you can lift others 
along the way. Your education will open doors of

00:00:33.120 --> 00:00:39.200
opportunity that extend beyond the workplace. Your 
communities need you. Your willingness to show up,

00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:44.880
to contribute, to serve, and to make things better 
will make a difference for everyone. Whether

00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:49.680
it's through your profession, volunteering 
your time, or simply being a good neighbor,

00:00:49.680 --> 00:00:54.160
you have the ability to strengthen the places 
you call home. Utah's future is bright because

00:00:54.160 --> 00:01:00.560
of you. Thank you for the example you set 
to others. Congratulations, class of 2026.

00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:05.120
We're proud of you and we can't wait to see the 
meaningful contributions that you will make.
