Congratulations to those of you who are being honored today. You are very fortunate to be apart of such a wonderful program, and have these great people assisting you with your educational journey. I was once a student in this program, not quite sitting where you are, but I overcame the college struggles and obstacles that has lead me to where I am today. I want to thank the Student Support Services Staff for contributing to my success at Buffalo State College, and for their continuous support in my professional development.

As you continue to fulfill your dreams and goals remember to thank those people who have helped you along the way. It is programs like this and people like them who truly make college a rewarding experience.

For those of you who are not being honored today for your academics, you are honored today for taking responsibility of your future by furthering your education. So continue to study hard and take advantage of what this program has to offer.

I wish you all of much success

Thank you.
