宾州中央谷. — 中国博彩平台 held its annual commencement ceremony on Saturday, 5月5日, at ArtsQuest中心 at SteelStacks in 伯利恒. The campus awarded associate and bachelor’s degrees to 115 students.

The featured speaker for the event was Kassie Hilgert, CEO and president of ArtsQuest and a 1997 Penn State alumna.

Hilgert opened her remarks by reading an editorial that criticized her generation with similar comments that are used today to criticize the current generation. She said she did this as way to show the graduates that they will hear negativity in their life and they should plan to ignore it. Hilgert continued by sharing experiences from her career and also gave six points of advice for the graduates.

“总有一天你们都会成为领袖, so take time to learn from the leaders you admire and the leaders you don’t. Leadership doesn’t come with title,” said Hilgert.

她谈到了勇气的概念, 这个词的意思, and characteristics displaying grit; stressing how important these are to being successful. Hilgert reminded graduates that they will spend more time with their co-workers than with their loved ones in a world where work-life lines are blurry, 所以她建议“去寻找你的部落.“在一天结束的时候, she told graduates to be humble and remember what Sir Isaac Newtown said: “If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.”
