CALIFORNIA STATE POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY, POMONA
Office of the Dean
College of Education and Integrative Studies
Dear Graduates,
On behalf of the faculty and staff of the College of Education and Integrative Studies, I offer my sincere congratulations for your achievement! Your degree is the culmination of your hard work, demonstration of your knowledge and skills, and development of your creative and critical thinking. It is also a hallmark event for everyone who supported you and is sharing this honor with you. Congratulations!
As a student in the College of Education & Integrative Studies, you have brought a rich heritage including cultural and linguistic diversity to our classrooms. You have challenged us to think more critically about current events, integrate the academic disciplines to insure that your experiences relate to the real world, and examine how we can contribute to equity, justice, and represent those who are unable to speak for themselves. Thank you for enriching our classrooms and challenging our thinking!
As you look back at the time and sacrifice it took to get to this moment, I hope you are cognizant of all you have given and those who have also given to help make this moment become a reality. Now, you have become the stewards of your profession. It is your time to make your mark on the world--- making the world better for the next generation. It is a heavy responsibility but one for which I know you are prepared.
You are our next generation of teachers, advocates for the under-served, and leaders in many professions. Many of you will go on to graduate school to further your education and influence. But whatever you do, you will always be “Broncos” -- members of the Cal Poly Pomona family. We will celebrate your future successes with you and know that Cal Poly Pomona will always be part of you.
Best wishes!
Dr. M.G. (Peggy) Kelly
