And, most of all Stratford, University's, Muse graduates, it, is my pleasure to once again welcome, you to your graduation ceremony here, in the botany hall, quite. Rightly our graduates, have been center stage and I. Would like to begin my address by congratulating, all, of you once again on your, academic, achievements. Your. Hard work has paid off and this, has now been recognized, in front of your families, supporters. And friends and, also the staff who taught and supported, you during your time at the University we. Celebrate, your efforts and your achievements very. Well done indeed. No. In a short while not the cause of graduation. You will be asked to join the academic, procession as a sleeves the bahraini this. Invitation actually. Symbolizes. The fact that you are no longer students but, fill members, of the academic, community of Strathclyde, a community. That numbers over 180,000, individuals. The. Class of 2019 is, graduating. At a time of considerable change, and, Scotland, in the UK and internationally. And, there, is no doubt that challenges. Lie ahead for us all. However. As members, of the South faith family you. Belong to a large growing, worldwide community, with. The shared ethos of tolerance. And understanding, and. A desire to make a positive difference, I. Hope. That the memory of today is something that we stay with you wherever you go and whatever you choose to do in life, we. Will keep in touch with you through our alumni team and I would ask that you also keep, in touch with us, let. Us know what you are up to what. You think about what we are doing at the University and what you could do to, help future generations of, students. As. Graduates, of a socially progressive University. You. Have a competitive, advantage having. Been equipped with the skills know-how. And capacity, to absorb. Knowledge together with the ability, to positively, influence and, shape the. World arranger. Nelson. Mandela once said that education was the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world do. Not underestimate this, power or your, responsibility. To use it well. In. Scotland, we are fortunate and having a higher education, system which, is internationally.
Respected, And. As a society we, are quite right to invest in it, education. Broadens, our mind and it, creates opportunities. For individuals. And society. However. Education. Itself does, not confer reims the. Opportunities. That education. Gives each of us also, carries with it a responsibility. To. Use what we have wormed, wisely. For the good of others, and a. Sense of duty should come radaway to graduates, of this university I. Struck. Waiters we only have to look to the achievements, of those who have gone before us for, inspiration. To. Join Anderson, our founder, who, established, this university, for, the good of mankind. -. The world's first oil man James parthenium. -. The missionary and Explorer, David Livingstone. -. John Logie Baird had, such pioneering, work on the development of television. In. The present day new, today English Angele a pioneer. In Scottish justice as a country's, first female service. Into general and later, the first female Ord advocate, and. - Sir Tom Hunter one, of the most successful entrepreneurs. In Scottish history and. A philanthropist, who has used his wealth to the benefit of others. Now. I'm sure you have been given lots of advice and how best to plan your life. Some. Of this advice you. Were right we ignore some. You may accept but. Mostly, you will have to learn for, yourself. Robert. Lee is really Stephenson put it well when he said don't, judge each day by the harvest you reap but, by the seeds that you plant. Now. To reach this point in your wife's today each, of you who have travelled a different journey for. Some this path who have been relatively smooth but, for others this may have been more challenging. However. I am certain, of one thing that. None of you would be here without the encouragement, of your, supporters, and families, they. Have picked you up when you've been done they, have encouraged, you when you have needed it and many. Will be here today, proudly. Watching as you cross the stage that. Broad smiles and the odd tear in the eye. Now. They are celebrating today not. Just because you're almost off the payroll, although. There is something in that. But. Because you carry with you their, hopes their wishes, and confidence, for a successful, career. For. The past half-hour us all the airport's has run in New Year's as you each Anton across, the stage to, receive your, award I would, now like to invite our graduates. To. Show their appreciation for. The support received from their supporters, and family. And. I touched earlier and some of the key figures who, have helped to create and shape the. University, of Strathclyde and. You, can tell a lot about the volumes of an organization, by looking, at its roots, stark. Weight traces its lineage back to 1796. When John Anderson, brought into being the. Only Scottish University, founded during, the Age of Enlightenment and. Embody in the Enlightenment principles of. Reason Torn's. And equality. John. Anderson's, belief and useful, whelming and, his commitment to take him knowledge and, using, this for the greater good as, a motivating, force which gets Strathclyde, University as. Momentum, today in, many. Ways he was ahead of his time as. He advocated, in the 18th century the. Education, of both women and men of all classes. This. Vision is just as important, today and as, a socially, progressive University. We want the talents, of our students to, be developed, to the highest level for the benefit of society. This. Can be seen in our pioneering law clinic where our students provide support, and representation. To, people who cannot afford legal. Advice, it. Can also be seen in our technology and an a vision Center which, is transforming, the way in which we collaborate with, business, industry, and. The public sector, to bring, global competitive, advantage, to Scotland, and this, is a tangible, sign of the, University's, commitment to. World-class research, and. Ensuring, the outcomes, of maximum, benefit to, society and, to the economy. We. Are a university for innovation, seeking. Breakthroughs, which will address the, most pressing challenges, facing, the world, through, new and effective medicines. Meaningful. Approaches, to climate change new.
