Morningside Connect

I’m sitting in my office in Lewis Hall, gazing out the window – reminiscing in my mind about all the fun and laughs I’ve had with the 2015 graduating class of Morningside College. I have been often asked – what advice would you give the class as they venture out into the workaday world?

I am reminded of the graduation speech that Alan Alda, star of the CBS Television series M*A*S*H, gave at Connecticut College a number of years ago. Rather than me paraphrase it I offer this link: http://www.graduationwisdom.com/speeches/0020-alda1.htm

Please take time to read it. It is one of the most powerful graduation addresses ever given. He speaks to all of us about what this day has come to mean. I urge you to read it and give me some feedback once you have completed it. What do you think?
