Countdown to Commencement with Student Speakers Sahil Tripurana and Jennifer Hernández
Sahil Tripurana, BS IDS ’23, and Jennifer Hernández, MBA ’23, will deliver one-of-a-kind speeches to their fellow graduates during the upcoming ceremony on May 5. “The quality of the speeches we received made selecting this year’s student speakers a difficult choice. Ultimately, Sahil and Jennifer were chosen because their words moved the selection committee the most, and graduates will feel inspired by their words of wisdom. The Class of 2023 is going to thoroughly enjoy these speeches,” said Joey Maman, Lead Academic Advisor, Student Involvement.
