Lewis closed the ceremony with both gratitude to Lindner faculty and staff for their support, and to issue a call-to-action to students closing in on graduation and other end-of-term celebrations.
“I know that you will have great success, as you’ve had here, and I encourage you to remain in contact with us to share your triumphs. Join our Alumni Association, be a class speaker or a mentor, or hire our co-ops and graduates. Most of all, wherever you are, be proud that you are a UC Lindner Bearcat — as we are so proud of you!”
