Fall 2025 College of Arts & Sciences Dean’s List Ceremony
Diana Cely de Galvin, ’18, served as guest speaker to inspire our CAS outstanding students.
“As you move forward, whether towards further academic work, research, leadership, internships, or even careers,” de Galvin encouraged the students, “carry this mindset that brought you here to this point with you. Be excellent, yes, but also be humble. Be agile. Be curious, be kind, especially in this world where kindness is lacking. Be truthful, especially in this political climate where the truth is optional.”
“In the pursuit of excellence, there will always be inevitably setbacks. Don’t fear failure or setbacks. Use it as a vehicle to rethink, reset, and re-evaluate. Don’t let it decline your whole existence. The most successful people in the world, the scientists, the artists, the entrepreneurs, the educators, the medical professionals, they didn’t get where they are by avoiding failure. They got there by learning from it, growing through it, and refusing to let it define them.”
Dr. Melissa Harris & Dr. Sita Ramamurti also greeted the students with encouragement and congratulated them on their diligence.
