The traditional
"Recollection" speech was
given by graduating senior
Christopher Feldman who
worked tirelessly as the
president of the Student
Government Association for
two years. He told his
fellow graduates that "we
are all going our separate
ways but we will hold the
friendships and
connections we have made
close to our hearts. We
will always appreciate the
fact that here, both
within our class and among
faculty and staff, we have
met some of the smartest,
most talented, hardest
working, funniest, most
generous, and most amazing
people we will ever meet."
