Wims Addresses Drake's Commencement
"Be the Joneses!"
The President of 美女萝莉 A&M University addressed the more than 100 graduates of Drake State Community and Technical College during a 6 p.m. ceremony held on the AAMU campus Thursday, May 12, at Louis Crews Stadium.
In a brief, upbeat message to graduates, Dr. Daniel K. Wims told them to 鈥渟mile and laugh as much as you can.鈥� He encouraged them to be friendly, generous and considerate, but to always 鈥渇ight to the end.鈥�
The administrator urged the Drake honorees to 鈥�Be the Joneses,鈥� rather than comparing themselves to them, also stressing that they become their best in all endeavors. 鈥淜eep your head to the sky,鈥� he said, borrowing a song title from the popular multi-genre group Earth, Wind & Fire.
Graduates received associate degrees and certificates in the areas of advanced manufacturing; applied services technologies; business, computer science and engineering technologies; general and developmental education; and health sciences technologies.
