"I believe and know every one of you will be able to continue to grow as individuals and members of society. Some may continue their studies, others may work and some may simply decide to take on motherhood: whatever you decide to do with your life do it well, and do it with passion. When you love what you do, you inspire others and the energy you resonate can be heartfelt do what YOU want to do, and forget what others expect. Be patient, be calm the rules in the outside world do not resonate those of the university campus but the strong foundations CMUQ instilled in you will allow you to excel in whatever you decide to do.

To transform this nation from one in debt to one of the richest in the world reflects a sense of dedication and duty, with visionary leadership and real commitment to innovation the years ahead, count on you to continue to realize great success. And as the famous quote of JFK goes, "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country". A nation facilitates and provides, but it is We the people, who must take the responsibility to deliver. Be bold, be wise and most of all walk with confidence, dignity and integrity."
