congratulations to our new graduates the class of 2021. can i get a big hearty go cougs i say these words from the bottom of my heart for you have persevered in the face of one of the most challenging times in modern history to reach this milestone moment in your life graduates as we gather today for this celebration i'm inspired by your undertakings and ambitions you have accomplished much in nearly every academic field imaginable you have big dreams for the future we enthusiastically welcome you to the ranks of wsu alumni and we send you into the world that greatly needs your minds and your hearts current events remind us there is so much happening in the world that needs fixing disease extreme poverty religious strife sexual discrimination unimaginable violence the list is long but i'm here today to tell you that there are many reasons for hope the cougar spirit that defines this great university and binds us together as one of the main reasons i feel hopeful about the future that spirit reflected by a never say die and a willingness to work hard to succeed no matter the obstacles bodes well for our own life success and for the betterment of our society it's a spirit that you the class of 2021 have demonstrated day in and day out on your path to this moment it's a spirit i've observed every day for the past five years i've served as wsu's president it's a spirit of hopefulness reflected in the good work being done by our faculty students and staff by our alumni and by our friends the examples of compassion dedication selflessness patience and kindness i witness every day inspire me and humble me without a doubt the world needs your cougar spirit more than ever and your willingness to confidently step up and tackle our shared challenges fills me with hope hope for today and hope for our future in my role i've met many of you and you're absolutely incredible and amazing noel and i have had many of you to our house for dinner and receptions we've taught you in classes we've cheered for you on stages and in athletic competitions interacting with you is one of the great joys of serving as a university president am i an optimist about our future yes there's no doubt about it but i see the world that way because i know how hard this community and all of you our 2021 graduates work to succeed every day the potential is unlimited as we celebrate today let us look to each other for continued inspiration in the years ahead may wsu and the cougar family continue to be your fountain of hope as we face the future united in spirit congratulations graduates and let me get a go cougs no matter where you are the wsu board of regents is the university's governing body and it gives me great pleasure to ask the regent chair brett blankenship to the podium thank you president schultz hello and welcome it is indeed a great day to be a coug what an honor to be with all of you today to celebrate your success at washington state university a little bit about me many of you one of one of the best kept secrets about me is i i was trained as a pianist so when i was graduating like you i was a music major when you're a pianist you always wind up you always wind up studying beethoven before you get a degree and one of the greatest beethoven artists in history was a fellow named arter schnabel question was posed to him one day how do you play all those notes and how do you remember all those notes and he whimsically replied he said almost almost any pianist can play the notes but it's the space between the notes that's where the art resides so the art is not always the obvious part that other people see but it's the unseen things so as you choose your path forward in your field of study you will often be faced with two choices the expedient thing and the thing that brings you meaning my hope for you is to choose the path of meaning find meaning and you will find the art that mr schnabel referred to and as you personally define what brings you meeting other choices will come your way being comfortable or growth choose growth every person on this platform with me today has made those choices many had other positions and they were just fine where they were they were successful on before they came here and they were brilliant at what they did but a person who always seeks the best has a certain restlessness and that is growth so if you ever find yourself getting bored and your job becoming routine you've stopped growing find a way to continue to grow and sometimes it's as simple as comparing yourself to who you were yesterday rather than comparing yourself who someone else is today continue to learn continue to find meaning continue to seek growth do those things and you won't need to find success success will find you life then becomes art and when success finds you indeed that is where the art resides so on behalf of all the regents past and present it's my honor to wish you the very best today congratulations thank you for choosing wsu go coops please join me in recognizing our regents and the important role they play in guiding our university now i turn the program over to elizabeth chilton provost and executive vice president of washington state university provost chilton well hello graduates it's an honor to join you for this historic celebration of your accomplishments at wsu and to welcome you

again when we can have in-person ceremonies and all are invited to return to attend in person we look forward to the regalia the tassels the graduation march and the celebrations with family and friends i imagine that your final semesters at wsu will be remembered as an extremely challenging and stressful time and i'm sure that you will you never imagined that your final months at wsu would include many hours of zoom sessions wearing face masks and attesting that you're not sick or even self quarantining we will remember the resilience and the dedication shown by cougs time and time again i have come to know and appreciate our tight-knit and supportive coog community even in the face of challenges unlike anything any of us have experienced before i know that you've received a world-class education here at wsu and your time here has prepared you for your future careers and for your lives we all know that life is not a straight line and i am confident that you are well prepared to face all the many twists and turns ahead of you as you graduate from wsu please remain your cough spirit even if you're not on campus or in classes every day be proud to wear crimson and gray come back to campus visit your professors and cheer on your fellow cougs a major part of the university experience is to expand the network of people who are invested in your success take heart in knowing that as a wsu alumnus you are a valued member of an incredible network of people i hope you'll find that cougs helping cougs doesn't just apply during your time as a student but throughout your life finally as one of the newest members of the wsu community i am proud to say to all of you go cougs now to welcome the first class of 2021 i am pleased to introduce jennifer johnson president graduate and professional student association curtis cohen president associated students of washington state university gina vasquez president associated students of washington state university global

state i want to say that on behalf of the gpsa congratulations on reaching this amazing milestone it is a remarkable accomplishment especially for you all who have persevered in the face of one of the most challenging times in modern history no one thought our final semesters at wsu would include sitting in countless zoom sessions wearing face masks everywhere or self-quarantining but in continuing to tackle these challenges we have demonstrated how strong and adaptable we are i am honored and proud to be such a be a part of such a resilient student body it is a pleasure to speak to all the graduate and professional students receiving their degrees to ga you are a part of a special group that has chosen to spend the past 20 plus years in education so that you may help solve the problems of the future it may not feel like it but you're all experts in your respective fields i'm sure your first thought of that notion like me is one of terror but this process was designed to challenge how you plan how you think how you work you have met those challenges and you endured you have come out on the other side able to tackle the most difficult problems this world has to offer while this is likely the end of school for most of you do not let this be the end of your education moving forward you'll go on to guide cutting-edge research you'll advance life-saving technology you will fight for social justice causes and you will positively contribute to the global community with your newly developed skills and leadership i implore you to use them for good help lift up those around you

professional students your work and efforts have been impactful you have paved the way for the next group to continue to make meaningful contributions my hope for every one of you is that the challenges and triumphs you face during your graduate experience continue to shape and influence you wherever life takes you next commencement represents the completion of one chapter and the beginning of a new one just as promising as the last enjoy this moment once again congratulations on your academic achievement gpsa wishes you the best of luck moving forward go cougs well hello everyone my name is curtis cohen and i have had the honor of serving you all as asw president this year this is a very interesting ceremony and believe me there is really nothing more i would want than to be here with you all in person wearing our caps and gowns graduating from any four-year school is a challenge even more so when we face unexpected events each day regardless of how the celebration is delivered the fact that we graduated under these circumstances should not be overlooked for a final year here many of us expected a completely different experience but at the end of the day this past year doesn't accurately define our overall experience here at wsu graduation is not the end of the road but the beginning of a new journey i can tell you one thing we've learned during this journey is that nothing in life is easy and the world is just not fair but cougs will always prevail you see the diploma we receive today doesn't come from any school but from washington state university the people around us build this school and it is so rare to find a campus so tightly knit with different groups each passionate about various goals and causes and at the end of the day we are wsu graduates so congratulations to our first generation students working students commuter students and students with disabilities and congratulations to you all the class of 2021 you did it and this is just the start so go out there and continue to make the world a better place go cougs this year has presented a series of unpredictable and historical challenges as a community we have endured despite these circumstances i must admit that i'm still grieving the loss of the experience my senior year would have offered had the world not been impacted by this devastating health and social crisis this is small in comparison to the losses the members of our wsu community have faced as some have lost loved ones are still recovering from the fires that devastated the pacific northwest and have had their financial emotional and psychological stability shaken this year has shed a blinding light on the issues that we face as a society such as multicultural intolerance and healthcare but not limited to these aspects of our reality in continuing to take these challenges head on we have also showed how strong and adaptable we truly are i am honored and proud to be a part of such a resilient student body i have seen student leaders unite to find ways to support engage with and advocate for their student bodies the courage it takes to continue to persevere is remarkable and truly equality that will prepare us for the challenges to come as a wsu global student i am grateful for the flexible and accommodating experience that this campus offers its students for those who are not aware the average age of global campus students is 30. these are students who are in the thick of their lives and have chosen to pursue higher education many of our students are parents and work full-time jobs some have been working with the public in businesses hospitals and as first responders others have lost their jobs had to become home school teachers or relocate if not all the above in the face of adversity you have persevered i congratulate you our global campus graduates for this milestone accomplishment while graduating college is impressive in its own right let this accomplishment serve as a symbol of your own grit work ethic and unwavering commitment to achieving what you set your mind to while you may not be where you yet wish to be find a moment to be thankful for where you are and what you have accomplished thus far congratulations global cougs you made it to graduation as president of the alumni association it's my honor to be among the first to welcome you to the cougar alumni family a family that is over 215 000 strong the next few years are full of promise and opportunity and having the support of the cougar family during this time is critical to get your life after graduation started we are proud to give you a free three-year membership the alumni association has 54 chapters and clubs across the united states making it easy to find and stay connected to your fellow cougars wherever you go you can find the chapter and club contacts on our website or on facebook this vast cougar network network wants to help you succeed in your career and personal pursuits once again congratulations and go cougs thank you jennifer curtis gina and doug hello my name is dave solay i'm the chancellor of the wsu global campus and i was thinking about the first time my youngest son saw me in my regalia he he looked at me he did a double take i could tell he was thinking he was thinking hard and he asked me dad are you going to hogwarts i smiled he didn't he was serious and realized that we see reality in different ways you know the world we live in is viewed differently by different people depending on context perspective experience and i can tell you the world that i live in today is very very different than the world i knew a year ago and i imagine the same is true for you you know i think of our parents our faculty our students and how their worlds have been significantly altered because of this pandemic but you know the same is true for our global campus students on the surface things may look the same you know we were online before the pandemic we were online during the pandemic and we'll be online after the pandemic but it's when you talk to our students our global campus students that you understand how different their world is today through the loss of a job insecurity over feeding their family racism isolation spending 24 hours seven days a week in the same physical space as your partner and or your children and then on the other end of the spectrum being all alone it's a tough year it's been a really tough year but i gotta look back and i see some of the amazing things that we accomplished together working through adversity adapting to change there was some really amazing efforts to move us to this new reality if you think about this graduation ceremony as a micro example of that it would have been so much easier to just throw our hands up and say you know what this is going to be too hard we'll just we'll do graduation the following year but we didn't we tried something different and it is different but we tried and we're going to keep trying to work with this new reality and i think about you our students it would have been understandable so understandable for you to say you know what things are too different there are too many unknowns i'm just unsure where my future's leading i'm going to postpone my education and maybe i'll graduate a year from now but you didn't you pushed through and you finished you finished and i don't know if it sunk in yet but you're a college graduate and more importantly you're a graduate from washington state university that means you are part of a family of alumni that are passionate and intensely loyal to this university you are a coug and nothing can ever take that from you not even a pandemic congratulations and go cougs today we celebrate with a total of 2263 students participating in the system-wide virtual commencement there are 30 students from everett three from olympia 211 global 1554 from pullman 103 spokane 115 tri-cities and 247 from vancouver representing 154 different degree fields the candidates for advanced degrees will be presented by lisa gloss dean of the graduate school i had my sincere congratulations and best wishes to all of the graduates whose accomplishments we are celebrating today in particular i want to recognize the tremendous achievements of our graduate students that completed their degrees this spring semester pursuing an advanced degree is a life-changing path this journey is often difficult and stressful but i hope you also found it to be a journey of self-discovery and growth personally intellectually and professionally please remember to celebrate that your journey was also important to the growth of the knowledge base research and scholarship that will benefit the human race in so many different ways that's what graduate student scholarship is about participating in the research that writes the textbooks for the next generation this commencement is a celebration of the completion of an important phase of your life path from where you stand now there are so many different fulfilling paths that you can follow that is an exciting amazing vista but also probably unsettling uncertain don't forget to pause and savor this moment your accomplishments you made it you're ready for that next step in your path you've shown remarkable resilience perseverance and dedication earning a master's or doctoral degree isn't an easy time at any time but you've been successful during some of the most challenging situations a graduate student might ever encounter as he weathered the many personal and professional impacts of life in the time of covet 19. i sincerely miss the opportunity to shake your hand hand your diploma and share your enthusiasm and joy as you celebrate this milestone many of my happiest memories as the graduate dean and as a faculty member are from the celebrations as part of commencement ceremonies i want to
