Brown University Confers Undergraduate Degrees To Class of 2025

Study in US: Brown University conferred undergraduate degrees to the class of 2025 and encouraged the newest graduates to lead with hope, love, and compassion.

Brown University has officially conferred undergraduate degrees to the Class of 2025. University President Christina H. Paxson said to the new graduates that the students will be missed by everyone on the campus.

“We love you because you achieve the highest standards of excellence in all you do, and you support your peers so they can do the same,” Paxson said.

A total of 1,904 bachelor’s degrees were conferred to the students of the undergraduate Class of 2025. The President said that the professors loved teaching the Class of 2025 because they were curious, intelligent, and persistent. The degrees were conferred for different programs from various departments including neuroscience, computer science, and economics.

“We love you because you care deeply about the Brown community. You show up for each other. You cheer each other in classrooms and labs, on athletic fields, and on stage… And we love you because you have endless energy and passion to use your knowledge to improve the wider world in which you live,” Paxson added.

University Chaplain, Janet Cooper Nelson commented, “Rising stars of Brown’s new generation, surely you will face tasks to confer dignity, to advocate for compassion, to speak for the voiceless. You will hear claims that privation and fear and grievance justify an end to legal conduct, health care, support for research or even learning — that people don’t need adequate housing, that we need to save money, and no one really deserves to eat, but maybe we can work it out. Repudiate those claims. These are not the marks and metrics of great societies.”

Senior Orator Nkéke Harris encouraged graduates to approach life with openness, authenticity, fearlessness, and hope.

“In these four years, I have seen what it means to be united in all of our glorious differences and humble sameness. In learning alongside and from the students and the faculty and the staff of this university, I found brightness once again," Harris said.
