Undergraduates Told That Through Struggle Comes Progress

Commencement keynote speaker Dwight McBee MBA '15, the chief patient experience officer at RWJBarnabas Health, reiterated how progress can be obtained through struggle.

“Ahead of you, storm clouds gather, and the winds begin to blow. And yet, my fellow Ospreys, this is not the moment to fold your wings. It is the moment to spread them wide,” McBee said. “It is time to fly. When you are on your way, just remember in your heart to say, ‘An Osprey always finds their way home!’”

"The Foundation Scholarship allowed me to travel to Thailand last summer to study small animal and elephant veterinary medicine with veterinarians and other pre-vet students from around the world. This opportunity to develop global awareness will make me a more compassionate and well-rounded future veterinarian."
