Curry College grads told to 'look fear and uncertainty straight in the eyes'
MANSFIELD – Milton's Curry College graduated 661 students Sunday at a commencement ceremony at Mansfield's Xfinity Center.
Michael Curry, CEO of the Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers and a vocal civic rights leader, reminded the members of the Class of 2022 that they have a purpose, encouraged them to “dream big" and asked them to confront and tackle important issues.
Class speaker Alex Bouchard spoke about the twists and turns his classmates faced as they navigated college during a pandemic.
“Maybe the most important lesson that Curry taught us over the last four years isn’t something that can be found in any textbook. It's not something that you can Google or find in a lesson plan," Bouchard said. "Maybe what Curry has taught us is to look fear and uncertainty straight in the eyes and take it head-on. Because we know, no matter how tough the waters are ahead, we can find our way.”
Kayla Connors, of Brockton; Reham El-Dahrawy, of Newton; and and Katherine Weitbrecht, of Braintree, were the undergraduate valedictorians. The salutatorians were Rachel Baltas, of Southboro, and Martin Beatty, of Dorchester.
Katrina Guidetti, of New Bedford, was recognized as the continuing education student valedictorian, and Jessica Grande, of Plymouth, was recognized as the continuing education student salutatorian. Nicholas John Corso, of Exeter, Rhode Island, received the New Era Award.
