At Notre Dame's commencement exercises on May 15, 2005, Enrique Schaerer gave the valedictory address. Enrique discussed the themes of diversity and community—urging fellow graduates to build bridges, not fences. He called on them to put their education into action, above all in service to others. And he emphatically challenged members of the graduating class to be "the entrepreneurs, the architects, the engineers, the poets, the writers, and the visionaries of a better tomorrow."
