“So, today, let me tell you what we hope for you as you approach the great unknowns in the chapters that lie ahead. We hope that you will continue to dream. But don’t just dream – do. Take your dreams and put them to use, for yourselves, for your communities, for your world. Serve others, and be kind,” Savoie added.
