“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams,”<\/span><\/i> said Eleanor Roosevelt. This statement resonated deeply at <\/span>CIS University’s<\/b> 2024 graduation ceremony, a celebration replete with a sense of hope and gratitude for the present, and deep determination toward the future.<\/span><\/p>

Once again, the gardens of the Club de Campo Villa de Madrid welcomed the graduating class and their families, CIS University President Dr. Mar\u00eda D\u00edaz de la Cebosa, <\/span>Endicott College <\/span><\/a>President <\/span>Dr. Steven DiSalvo<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Miami Dade College Kendall Campus<\/span><\/a> President <\/span>Dr. Anthony Cruz<\/span><\/a>, Endicott College Provost <\/span>Dr. Sara Quay<\/span><\/a>, Endicott College Dean of International Education <\/span>Mr. Warren Jaferian<\/span><\/a>, CIS University Deans, faculty, and staff.<\/span><\/p>

President D\u00edaz de la Cebosa began her commencement speech with a reflection on the profound meaning of the word “education” and how we sometimes overlook the good fortune of having such a great opportunity. The president went on to reference the story of <\/span>Liz Murray<\/span><\/a>, an inspiring tale of self-improvement and personal effort. In spite of precarious and unfavorable beginnings, she managed to complete her university studies majoring in psychology at the prestigious Harvard University.<\/span><\/p>

As president of the <\/span>International Studies Foundation (ISF)<\/span><\/a>, a foundation of CIS University, D\u00edaz de la Cebosa presented the <\/span>Special Award for International University Cooperation 2024<\/b> to an excited Dr. DiSalvo. The award is in recognition of his work in developing international educational partnerships, as well as encouraging students to develop a full and international cultural awareness.<\/span><\/p>

DiSalvo expressed gratitude for having received the award by recalling Peter Drucker’s famous quote, <\/span>“The best way to predict the future is to create it,”<\/span><\/i> thus highlighting the importance of learning and taking responsibility in order to become the scriptwriter and architect of your own future. He concluded by inviting the graduates and their families to visit Endicott College in Boston, for in his own words <\/span>“our campus is now also your home.”<\/span><\/i><\/p>

Next, Miami Dade College Kendall Campus President, Dr. Cruz, had some passionate words for the attendees highlighting the importance of adaptability in an ever-changing world: <\/span>“We are here to honor the hard work that has brought you here and to celebrate the beginning of a new chapter. Each of you has the potential to transform the world through innovation and commitment to the common good,”<\/span><\/i> he said.<\/span><\/p>

The 2024 <\/span>“Award for Teaching Excellence”<\/b> went to Modern Languages and Literature Department Professor <\/span>Karyn Su\u00e1rez<\/span><\/a>, who offered a spirited reflection on the importance of employing passion in everyday life. Her speech drew applause from the graduates as she referred to them as “<\/span>lions away from their pride in search of their own territory.<\/span><\/i>“<\/span><\/p>

The inspirational speech made by graduates Inna Aloy and Zach Zemmels, exuded gratitude as they recalled the intricacies of their journey up to this point as they reflected on the importance of continuing education and lifelong learning. <\/span>“Guys, education doesn’t end here; you know this is a perpetual journey. We encourage you to keep exploring, questioning and learning. Maintain the same curiosity and passion that we have demonstrated over the years at CIS University.”<\/span><\/i><\/p>

Former student Marina de Herrera Soriano\u2019s also made a speech in which she encouraged the graduates to overcome their difficulties and pursue their dreams. It was the crowning touch to an afternoon of great celebration.<\/span><\/p>

The ceremony concluded with an emotional recognition of students’ individual and collective achievements, celebrating not only their academic success but also their personal growth. Inspirational stories of perseverance, self-improvement and fraternity were shared, illustrating the spirit of the Class of 2024.<\/span><\/p>

Dear Class of 2024: <\/span>“The world is waiting for you – get out there and write your own story!”<\/span><\/i><\/p>

Congratulations to all of our 2024 graduates and welcome to the CIS University Alumni family!<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
