Michelle Nunn's commencement speech to Wesleyan graduates - May 15, 2010.
Thank you -- President Knox, faculty, graduates-to-be and most honored guests. President Knox thank you for that overly generous introduction. And thank you for embodying servant leadership and for embracing a vision for Wesleyan that restores to higher education its fundamental mandate to cultivate citizen and servant leaders for the world.
An honorary degree from the world's first college to grant degrees to women is an extraordinary and humbling honor. I accept it as a tribute to all of the people who have worked to make hands on service a positive force in our communities- locally, nationally, and internationally.
