We live in an era of accelerating change where often as a society and as individuals we seem to be struggling to keep up.
Graduation is all about change. And at Michigan that means it’s not only about the change in you, it’s about the changes you will contribute to in society.
In the fall of 2015, when many of you started as undergraduates here at Michigan, our world was a different place.
Me Too was not yet a hashtag. The event horizon of a black hole had never been imaged. And midterm voter turnout on university campuses across the country was just 19 percent.
Each of these examples, in their own way, demonstrates the often long and difficult path to change.
The Me Too Movement was founded in 2006 by activist and sexual assault survivor Tarana Burke. Burke wanted to provide a place for survivors to tell their stories, for empathy, and for healing.
She spent more than a decade persevering and advocating on the behalf of those whose stories are marginalized, or not told at all. Then the idea she started went viral, transforming into global conversation and, we must hope, change.
The image of the black hole event horizon presented last month required two years of computer analysis, data from 8 observatories on three continents, and a team of 200 scientists, which included 2011 U-M Electrical Engineering graduate Katie Bouman.
We have now seen what had previously been described as un-seeable, and pushed the frontiers of knowledge to the darkest regions of the universe.
And during the 2018 midterm election, Tufts University reports that youth turnout increased in every state for which they have data. In 27 states, it rose by double digits.
Plus, precincts that serve Big Ten campuses saw their turnout increase by an average of 24 percentage points. This is more than double the increase in nearby areas, indicating that students made their voice heard. Higher turnout was a goal of the Big Ten Voting Challenge. Well done!
Choosing to commit to the work needed to make change, and see it through, can produce amazing results C but it can also frustrate.
Change doesn’t happen in a straight line. It’s messy. It can take years, or even decades.
But when it is founded on principled dedication, collaboration, and hope C all the ingredients are in place.
Our campus has wonderful examples.
