Congratulations on your graduation!

This is a major accomplishment and an important milestone in your life. I can’t think of a better way to embark on a new life or career than to earn your college degree.  It’s an investment that will bring you returns for the rest of your life.

If you’re receiving an associate’s degree, we hope you’ll return to RSU next semester to pursue a bachelor’s degree.

If you’re earning a bachelor’s degree, I would like to extend my sincerest congratulations. I encourage you to become involved with the RSU Alumni Association. Joining the association is an opportunity for you to network with your peers and other alumni, and a great way to stay connected with your alma mater.

I also would like to recognize your family and friends, who supported you as you pursued your education. We understand that their support helped get you where you are today.

You should be proud of your achievement.

I’m looking forward to seeing you at Commencement 2008!

Sincerely,

Dr. Larry Rice, President
