Fiat Lux take a look around you, pallets of green, white, silver. oak trees, cascading into the sky keeping us deeply rooted to the water of the st. johns.
we click our heels 3 times because there’ s no place like home, but it doesn’ t bring us there. it brings us to this moment.
fiat lux. let there be light, through the strong yet still flame that flickered as we began to matriculate into the most transformative years of our lives.
take a deep breath. now release. effervescent sparks of energy, as we embark on journeys that will far surpass anything these cords and stoles dictate.
we click our heels 3 times because there’ s no place like home, but it doesn’ t bring us there. it brings us to this present gift.
fiat lux. let there be light, on the road less traveled by, presented in 4-year pathways of distinction, in which all of us can thank dr. kinnie for the knowledge she gave each one of us.
“ please join me in justifying, each day, the space we take up on this planet, and in celebrating life, the greatest gift of all” a beacon of enlightened song, with chordal imperfections that make up the grandest symphonies, which made our college experience. and she still believed we deserved this day, and every day thereafter.
we click our heels 3 times because there’ s no place like home, but it will never bring us there. it’ ll bring us here.
fiat lux. let there be light, on our own emerald city that lies on the other side of the rainbow. and as we move our tassels from the right to the left, let there be light on the roads we choose to travel by.
because as a wise woman once said“ each of us can do something that nobody else can do. i think that it’ s a gift. it’ s a gift you’ ve received. so, how much can you give back?”
