A word from Chris Rush, Campus director.

Dear Graduates, Family and Friends, Faculty, and Staff- It is my pleasure to celebrate your success, you made it to the finish line!

This is SUCH an AMAZING accomplishment– Some people will go their entire life and never experience this moment. TAKE IT IN!

Finish what you started. Easier said than done sometimes.

Was school easy…. NO!

Was it supposed to be easy… NO!

If it was easy everyone would have it and it would be worth anything so it required sacrifice.

In fact, think about how many other names and faces started with you and didn’t make it here tonight. Life got in the way, the going got tough and they got going but you did not, nice job!
