The Department of Romance Studies was pleased to honor all of our 2018 graduates at our departmental commencement ceremony on May 18.

In her address to the graduates, Romance Studies Chair Dr. Odile Cazenave told them:

The reading of literature with opened eyes, and the study of other cultures, teaches empathy as well as self-knowledge. Studying another culture helps us gauge our own all the better, and it helps us understand those who are different from us.

Such understanding will take you very far indeed on the path that you begin today. I do hope that you are able to take your deepened perspectives from the study of language and culture out into the world and find more topics you love, and keep studying, keep learning, keep connecting the dots.

Best wishes for the future for all of our graduates!
