R&C 2016: President Roth's 2016 Wesleyan Commencement Address

In his remarks to the graduating class, President Michael Roth spoke about Wesleyan’s core values of justice, generosity, and care. Roth challenged the graduates of the Class of 2016 to put what they’ve learned at Wesleyan to promote positive changes in the world. “We Wesleyans have used our education to mold the course of culture ourselves lest the future be shaped by those for whom justice and change, generosity and equality, diversity and tolerance, are much too threatening. Now we alumni are counting on you, Class of 2016, to join us in helping to shape this culture, so that it will not be shaped by the forces of violence, conformity, and elitism.”
