      “My charge to you today, Class of 2018, is to rise above bigotry when you see it, seek out truth in the face of made-up facts, never stop questioning, speak for justice whenever you see injustice, heed the call of your conscience whenever it calls out to you, break the idols of intolerance, shatter the walls of petty identity, and scale the peaks of your own humanity. Go forth and make the world a better place,”\u00a0said Pardee School\u00a0<\/span>Dean\u00a0<\/span>Adil Najam<\/a>, addressing the graduates.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
