(From the University of Delaware)
Graced by nearly picture perfect weather, graduates and their families and friends celebrated the University of Delaware’s 165th Commencement held Saturday, May 31, at Delaware Stadium.
Commencement speaker, Vice President Joe Biden asked students to recognize the support given by their families, Biden also asked all present to give a round of applause for veterans graduating and for those about to enter into the U.S. armed forces.
Forgoing the offering of advice, Biden noted that no class ever gets to choose the world into which it graduates.
“When every class enters into the history of the nation, that history up to that point has been written by others,” Biden said. “Once every couple of generations, a graduating class will enter a point in our history where they actually have a chance to change the trajectory of their country.”
Because it is entering at such an “inflection point,” the Class of 2014 has a chance to “grasp the situation and to bend history just a little bit,” Biden said.
