Argosy University, DC Commencement Ceremony 2009
Speaker: Please be seated. Graduating class of 2009, faculty,
staff, distinguished guests, family, and
friends, I welcome you to the 2009 commencement ceremony of
Argosy University, Washington DC. Our
theme this year is Sustaining Ourselves, Securing Our Future.
We’ve heard much in recent months and

3. years about sustainability. Most of the public discussion has
focused on the quality of our environment
and our use and misuse of natural resources. Yet, sometimes in
the midst of this needed dialogue, the
sustainability of the individuals is overlooked. In this more
modest but most relevant dialogue,
sustainability is about balance.
Many of you have been grappling with balance in your lives—
balance among personal, family, work,
school and community interests, and obligations. For you the
class of 2009, options for family, career, and
community involvement are many and diverse, and opportunity
is for both competition and collaboration
with others innumerable. In this world of both dizzy
impossibility and danger, inundated by mostly
undifferentiated mass of information and opinion, what will you
do next?
With a nod to Jim Collins, I recommend that you find and
magnify the convergence of something you care
deeply about, something you are really good at, and something
that has value to others; because of your
disciplined acquisition and application of new skills and
expertise at Argosy, you’re more capable than
ever before. And by channeling your passion whatever it might
be into something as value to others, you
will be securing a future bright with accomplishments,
contributions, career opportunities, and even joy.
Truly sustaining ourselves after all means not only marshaling
our personal resources and capabilities to
endure come what may, but also finding peace of heart and
mind.
This peace flows naturally from building a legacy of
contribution with efficacy and excellence to better

4. relationships, better families, better communities, better places
to work, and a better world. Know who
you are and what you stand for. Be proud of the education and
training you have earned here at Argosy.
Use your newly honed skills and talents to strike a better life
balance and secure your future by shaping it
to reveal your best self, someone who is an anchor to family, a
trusted and trustworthy friend, an
innovative and productive contributor to the marketplace, a
leader in our increasingly global community.
Moderator: Please join me in welcoming Warren Brown.
Warren Brown: Thank you very much. Thank you very much
and good morning to the graduates and to
their families. I hope that you’re all doing well. I want to say
congratulations for what you’ve
accomplished. You’ve made it to this end of your journey that
began with your school and your graduate
degrees and now you have the pleasure of reentering the
workforce and getting back into the world
fulltime and experiencing what I hope you’ll find to be the next
step of your journey, the next step which
will be, hopefully, very satisfying for you and one that brings
you accomplishment and pleasure and
fulfillment.
I want to make sure that we just acknowledge that graduating
and passing on from one step where you’re
right now, it’s going to be one of those things it’s happy and
it’s full and lots of enjoyment. Today is a day
to celebrate. But, what happens tomorrow and getting to the
work that begins to be your next step is—it’s
hard, it’s difficult. So I think, you have to really be in tune with
yourself and it takes time, it takes a lot of

practice to get in touch with who you are, to know what it is
that you want, to figure out what it is that’s
speaking from inside of you. But as you discover that or
uncover that and let that out, and practice it; I
think everything in your world becomes better. You understand
more of what you want and you can
pursue that. Your happiness and your ability to support other
people, it makes your world better and
everyone else surrounding your world and community benefits
from it. Everybody else here can benefit
from it and it goes for not just a graduate, but for everyone in
the room. We all know that we need to look
to understand ourselves better and what we want from ourselves
so that we can contribute to our
community and that’s what we’re here for, it makes our time
worthwhile and hopefully and I imagine it,
on the way we’ll have some fun.
So I want to say congratulations because what you’ve done is
definitely an accomplishment. Your journey
is now beginning again or taking a turn, but it’s not over.
You’re kind of one lap. You’re going have to

6. continue to go round and round and it’s going to get harder each
time because you’re already putting
effort and if you just do the same amount of effort well then
that’s not hard. It’s not hard enough. I want
you to push yourself, others around you, push for truth, push to
do better, to be more efficient, to be
smarter, to be more sustainable, to work better with yourselves
and with other people so that you can
accomplish what is that you set out to do.
Together, everyone can contribute and we can all get to a better
place, this country, this community, this
world. We all need to do our part; we know that it will be
enjoyable. It can be enjoyable, but it is up to you
to take the risks to get there. So congratulations. Best of luck!
Speaker: It’s now my pleasure to congratulate Argosy
University, Washington DC’s graduating class of
2009. Congratulations to you all!
