not an end, but a beginning

Five years from now, you’re the same person except for the people you’ve met and the books you’ve read.
--John Wooden (1910-2010) American basketball coach  

Congratulations to those graduating from Milligan College tomorrow!  I've always found this quote inspiring - impressing on us the need to move forward with purpose. So I think it fits for graduation -- because after all, "commencement" is not about an end, but a beginning. This will be our President Don Jeanes' last commencement before his retirement in July -- so we'll give him our thanks and celebrate and congratulate all that he and his wife Clarinda have accomplished these last fourteen years. More here. Here's to a great new beginning for them and for all those receiving diplomas!
