On this auspicious occasion, I congratulate the Class of 2019. This graduation day must be momentous in your lives. I therefore join you in celebrating it.

Take cognizance of the fact that there will be times when you shall need to draw strength from values your alma mater inculcated in you. This is because work life is bound to have both successful and challenging encounters. When successful, rejoice and celebrate, while during hard times, rise and soldier on; for it is known that only those who finish the race get counted.
