“While you enter a society marked by division and uncertainty, you are not the first to do so and you will not be the last…During your time at Hendrix, you have wrestled with hard questions about justice, truth, leadership, and purpose. You have learned that disagreement is not something to fear or avoid—it is a call to deeper understanding. You have discovered that community is not something that happens by accident. It is built, one conversation at a time. As a result, you have learned to live together with people from different places, backgrounds, traditions, and faiths. You have debated, discussed, and argued points in class and late into the evenings.”
