- [00:00:01.027]U of N grads.
- [00:00:05.571]U of N!
- [00:00:08.629](bright music)
- [00:00:11.970]As we celebrate our 50th anniversary, it's a moment
- [00:00:15.870]to express gratitude to each community member,
- [00:00:18.780]alumni, faculty, staff, and students alike,
- [00:00:22.290]who have helped to contribute and really shape our legacy.
- [00:00:26.125](bright music)
- [00:00:27.499]I have a new grandson.
- [00:00:29.365]There you go.
- [00:00:30.649]Ain't he gorgeous?
- [00:00:31.854]That's all I have to talk about. That's all.
- [00:00:34.284]That's all that matters now.
- [00:00:35.367]He is gorgeous.
- [00:00:37.227](bright music)
- [00:00:40.822](crowd chattering)
- [00:00:45.216](bright music)
- [00:00:51.353]Whether you are just now receiving your degree,
- [00:00:53.832]or if you've had your degree for 50 plus years,
- [00:00:56.804]you have value, you have qualities of leadership within you.
- [00:01:01.980]Where you are today is exactly where you're meant to be.
- [00:01:04.920]The college has prepared you with the skills
- [00:01:07.680]to problem solve and to think critically
- [00:01:09.810]from a place of curiosity.
- [00:01:12.270]What you choose to do with your talent
- [00:01:14.652]from this point forward, it matters.
- [00:01:17.748]And most importantly, everyone has something to learn.
- [00:01:21.385]Everyone has something to teach.
- [00:01:26.952]But I did want to share one key relationship
- [00:01:29.370]that I forged, and it was through Professor Hoistad.
- [00:01:33.210]So when I was in sixth year, you know, we got
- [00:01:35.640]to choose back then what your thesis would be.
- [00:01:38.340]And I was very interested in sports architecture.
- [00:01:41.340]And so back then, to many of you, this will be shocking.
- [00:01:44.550]But there was not this thing called the internet.
- [00:01:46.830]And so you had to think about and research in different ways
- [00:01:49.980]and actually talk to people.
- [00:01:51.660]And so Professor Hoistad set me up with an alumni
- [00:01:54.690]who was working in the sports architecture world.
- [00:01:57.150]And so he opened my eyes to that
- [00:02:00.270]and it would impact my entire career
- [00:02:02.370]and set me off with the last 28 years.
- [00:02:04.140]So that I'm grateful.
- [00:02:06.663](bright music)
- [00:02:09.141]Well I remember walking up to Architecture Hall,
- [00:02:11.460]and I'm a sucker for old buildings.
- [00:02:13.560]And I knew as I was starting to walk up the steps,
- [00:02:15.900]that there was going to be an interesting phone call
- [00:02:17.910]with my wife later that afternoon,
- [00:02:19.860]because this is where we belong.
- [00:02:25.230]For five decades, we've worked together to plan
- [00:02:28.680]and design, the built environment.
- [00:02:30.570]Creating a more resilient, healthy, and beautiful world.
- [00:02:34.260]And I cannot wait, to roll up our sleeves together,
- [00:02:37.230]and see what the next 50 looks like.
- [00:02:41.820]Congratulations on 50.
