QUOTED @ COMMENCEMENT
 
Look back on Emory's 177th Commencement, including quotable moments from Tyler Perry at the Emory University ceremony, Avis Williams at Oxford Commencement and Sally Q. Yates at the Emory Law ceremony.

 

Tyler Perry: 'Don't be afraid of the pressure that will come in order for you to see your dreams through.'
"Most dreams do not appear in your life without hard work, struggle and sacrifice," advised entertainment icon Tyler Perry. "This is your life to live. Don't be afraid to chart your own course or make your own way. Have an incredible work ethic; look for your professors; and leave your own footprints."

 

Avis Williams: 'Give back to the communities that nurtured you.'
"We honor not only those who are graduating today but the spirit of our ancestors, who labored in times of enslavement to build this world-class educational institution. Let us live, learn and give," shared Avis Williams, a Covington native and one of the earliest African American graduates of Oxford College.

 

Sally Q. Yates: 'Your country needs you. Our world needs you. And we need you now.'
"Lawyers have always been on the front lines of defining who we are as a country, or at least who we aspire to be," former U.S. Deputy Attorney Sally Q. Yates told Emory Law graduates. "You decide what you believe our country stands for and take action to make it happen."
