You've formed friendships that will undoubtedly last with you always. The journey was surely not always easy, but through it all you persevered. You have pushed boundaries, challenged assumptions, and pursued knowledge with a relentless passion," Hanna said.
"The skills you've learned will serve you throughout your lives. The world - and the Commonwealth - needs confident, influential leaders and scholars like yourselves," said Mumin.
