It was a special Mother's Day on the Brandeis campus this year, as thousands filled the Gosman Sports and Convocation Center to celebrate the university's 67th Commencement.
Main Commencement Ceremony
In a rousing keynote address, Freeman A. Hrabowski III, president of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, urged graduates to develop a sense of self, to ask questions, to never stop learning, and to never stop seeking the truth.
“In your work, whatever you are doing, as a teacher, as a lawyer, a doctor, scientist, an artist, whatever you do, continue with your actions to make the point that nothing is more important than seeking the truth," he said. "We can never say it enough that we must always call it out when it is not that way.”
