School of Business Honors Graduates during Commencement

May 13, 2023

When graduating senior Henry Huynh thinks about Fisher, three words come to mind. Growth, family, and memories. Those concepts served as the foundation for his address to fellow members of the Class of 2023 during the School of Business Commencement ceremony.

A graduate of the School of Business holds up a diploma while crossing the stage.

At the ceremony, held on Saturday, May 13, the School conferred bachelor鈥檚 and master鈥檚 degrees to more than 100 students. During his speech, Huynh encouraged his classmates to recall their first days on campus and consider how far they have come, individually and as a group.

鈥淲e have learned that facing challenges is a positive thing in our lives. We develop strength, character, and discipline through those hard times,鈥 said Huynh. 鈥淏y overcoming adversities and never giving up, we aspire to motivate others to persist in their pursuits and remain determined despite obstacles. Remember, the journey is as important as the destination.鈥
