Celebrating the achievement's of this year's graduating class
"Your learning has prepared you to be guardians of our shared home. I ask that you
maintain a sacred connection with Mother Earth and apply your knowledge to protect
her. Remember that your decisions today must benefit not just your generation, but
the seven generations that follow. Safeguard the air, water, and soil that sustains
all life. And as you walk this path, never forget to honor those who came before you
- your mothers, fathers, grandmothers, and grandfathers - for they are the roots from
which your strength grows."
- Thomas Sakokweniónkwas Porter, Mohawk Elder and 2025 Honorary SUNY Doctorate recipient
