Now is an exciting time to be graduating.

They're scared, nervous, sometimes a little panicked by the situation,

We want to get you some money right now so you can get somewhere where you can have some power and are a little bit safer. If you've got snakes in your house you don't need to be staying there right now.

I am far more encouraged as a career service professional now than in 2000 by the number of employers that have expressed the intent to hire more graduates.

We're still rolling the dice.

As proud as we are of you for the way you grew on the basketball court, we're even prouder of the way you've grown academically. You took the role of student/athlete seriously, and you're seeing the results of all that work now.
