Help is here .
This moment affords me a special opportunity to extend my hearty congratulations to you, the graduates of the Class of 2000. This is your day. Your memories will forever cherish this occasion, and there will surely be few times in your lives when you will be surrounded by so many who care so much about you. I join you in thanking the faculty who taught you, as well as learned with you, the families who sacrificed for you, and the friends who have sustained you. The year 2000 has finally arrived.
