Congratulation to recent graduates
Staff Editorial
Issue date: 5/15/09 Section: Opinion
With last week's commencement, we see another crop of young minds exit the Sallyport and begin their post-college years (see story, pages 8-9). Thus, congratulations are in order.
While it may not be the most opportune moment to end your Rice career, we know that if anyone can succeed in what CNN calls "The Worst Year to Graduate," it is you guys. You slogged through years of cumbersome construction, made your teachers swoon with your performance (we hope they didn't swoon too much, though - see story, page 1) and rode the Todd Graham roller coaster to its infuriating end, only to see Rice reach even greater heights at this year's Texas Bowl. Your time at Rice, these so-called "greatest days of your lives," will always be with you. You will always have a home within the hedges, and we couldn't be more excited to see you take your first steps into the world.
Because if anyone can right the economy, it will be you. (And please do, because there's no way we could get work in this environment.)
