The students were told to aim high by the ceremony鈥檚 keynote speaker Senator Stephen Brewer. A great many things will change throughout their lives, he told the students, but hard work and innovation will always serve them well. He told the students that not only can they dream big, but that they should.
鈥淭his is an important achievement that you have. It will serve you well in further educational opportunities and certainly in employment opportunities as well,鈥 said Senator Brewer. 鈥淭he life you are about to go into is moving, it鈥檚 exciting, it鈥檚 daunting, and it鈥檚 also uncertain.鈥
