What a cute graduate he makes!
Cory was congratulated by professors he has worked with over the last 4 years. They were all excited to see him accomplish his goal of graduation. One professor told me, "Cory will go far in his career. He is the type of person that people will like to work with and work for. He is a people person. With his work ethic and drive there is nothing that he will be unable to accomplish".
Having worked sooo hard to get his education Cory was excited to accept even a "fake" deploma!
Momma K and Papa K are extremely proud of him. They have been instrumental in his focus and drive to accomplish his education. Their love and support helped him get through the really hard time, late night studies, last minute changes to assignments, and all nighters working on projects. They are truely great parents!
I, too, am so proud of Cory. He has worked hard to achieve this. I know that he will be a great support to our family and will be a great success in doing the work of the gospel as well.
Cory and technology grad friend. They got to walk together at commencement.
UVU's President Holland spoke to the graduates about not letting this be the ending but just the beginning. Now that they are graduated they need to look to their communities and be strengths and benefits to those around them. He is in essence said "Time to go to work" in always in life. With family, career, home, and community.
Also the graduates were told a story by Dr. Gay, the key note speaker, that when he attending his graduation at Harvard University, Mother Theresa was the key note speaker. This was back in the 1980s. When she came to speak to the graduates, many were surprised by her comments in regards to the sanctity of life. Knowing her one should not be surprised that she stated, irrevocably, that an unborn child deserves the opportunity to life, that to end the life of an innocent child in the womb is just as vial as killing one outside of the womb. The story was powerful and amazing to hear. Hopefully the graduating class of 2011 from UVU will believe those words and will desire to protect the sanctity of life all days of theirs.
With the switch of the tassel, Cory became an office UVU graduate........Congrats, SA!
