we will fight for the ideals and sacred things of the city
both alone and with many;
and thus, in all these ways, we will strive to transmit this city
and not only not less but greater, better, and more beautiful

President’s Message
Vince Boudreau
President
Congratulations, Graduates!
Today, you enter the ranks of men and women who, for 170 years, have graduated from
the City College of New York, and moved into the world to make it a better place. If you’ve
had the chance, over your years here, to page through the honor role of those who came
before you, you know what an elite and accomplished family you now join.
Those who came before you built cities, pursued justice at the very highest levels, led
nations and industries to astounding new accomplishment. They taught, invented, built, discovered, organized
and nurtured a society that is immensely better because they took hard earned knowledge and wisdom—the
fruits of their time at CCNY—with them into the world.
As you move from our campus, I would like to urge upon you some final thoughts. First and most
important: There has never been a more capable group of graduates than you. You came to us as young
people who have come to us through the decades—neither more nor less prepared or worthy of this place, and
you leave it as utterly befitting modern heirs of our legacy, and appropriate stewards of our vision. You do not
yet know what you will accomplish, or to what challenges your life will lead you—but neither had any of those
who came before you. We are proud of what you’ve been, and eagerly anticipate the discovery of what you will
become. And we are grateful that, for a time, we shared our days together.
Second, understand that your college experience has been different than that of many who you will meet.
The fact of our diversity is often presented as an important consideration for admission to the college. I have
always thought that it was a far more important consideration for your entrance into the world. We have tried
to create a community on this campus where nobody is an outlier—where respect of difference and the
serious consideration of alternative perspectives is fundamental to how we think and work. To the extent that
we’ve succeeded—and accomplishing these goals is never something about which to be complacent—we have
modeled a better world than the one you may enter.
That means that you are freighted with special insights, that you have hopefully adopted more effective
ways of seeing one another and appreciating what can happen when everyone’s contributions and experiences
are acknowledged: when we account for the insights of each person, but also strive to understand and salve
pain that may not be our own, that may be alien to our experience.
For you to live up to these expectations will take courage and fortitude. It will mean honoring the history
of this great institution by bringing your best self into the world each day, and falling back, when you need it,
on the lessons you have learned on our campus. It will mean drawing on the tremendous reserves of tenacity
that so many of you have displayed in merely getting into CCNY, or coming to campus each day, or making it
to this, your graduation day.
I give you this charge knowing how strong you can be, how smart you all are. I ask you to walk this path
because I know you can, and for the sake of our society, I hope that you will. I ask you to do what generations
of young people before you have done, every year, on this place and at this time. I ask you to move into the
world as true sons and daughters of City College, and live lives that we will celebrate as reflecting our very
highest values, our greatest expectations, and our fondest dreams.
With my warmest congratulations,
Vince Boudreau
