University of Michigan-Flint

My thanks to all who made the inaugural ceremonies on April 17 such a wonderful day. It was especially noteworthy that the citizens of Flint were able to see our academic processional and recessional outside - a sight that is rarely enjoyed by others unless they happen to attend a commencement. I have recieved many positive comments from members of the community.

Since there have been a number of requests for my remarks, they are included here.
