Carillion bells
male voice Rap :Yo this aint a poem this is hip hop just want you to know
So stay right and stay tight to the flow
But this is more than just a lesson in the field of black expression
In fact it's more a reflection of the time that's been invested
Let me take ya'all back to when
I was brimming with excitement
Didn't really sleep, though technically I closed my eyelids
I really aint been silent since July when
I got placed in Berekley College, objectively the best option
So it's my first day at Yale,
I'm finally stumbling through the gates
I'm giddy with excitement goofy look upon my face
Bunkbed is in a closet, bookshelf and no space
Blue book is in my pocket, Two new suitemates
and I got myself to make
But where do I go
I got a thousand opportunities
but how do I grow?
I think I'm catchin' on slow
This aint at all like MO
They're like "You're lucky." I know.
But there's still more to this show
I mean, just look at the history
This the place of presidents
princesses and the most elite
Honestly, this place
it wasn't built for me
But now I see
This is our Yale community
and it's brimming with diversity
and unity
This aint a school, this is Hip-Hop
remixing it all to bring order
to the chaos.
And all of us bring rhythm
We're here to treat the cause
and not the symptom
A better world is our only mission
And now we're rapping
at the table for women
paying lyrical homage
to those so long unadmitted
When I look back and see
a better path carved for
for future children
And I appreciate every one of y'all
who's stopped to listen
Cuz this is bigger than all of us
here today,
It's bigger than Grace Hopper,
Pauli Murray, or Bouchet
We're remixing the world
that all of us can be a part of
We out here, we been here
We aint leaving
And we are loved.

Class of 2017, we made it,
we've got this, we love all of you,
we're gonna kill it!
We're all going to
leave Yale eventually
but before we evacuate,
let's have a good time
Also the motto of Chipotle:
"Before we evacuate,
let's have a good time."
Congratulations, Yale Class of 2017
I have one very important
parting word for you:
Come visit Vassar!
Congratulations, 2017!
Congratulations, Class of 2017
In my travels in the academy
over the last 20 or 30 years,
I've come to learn one thing:
that Yale students are the kindest
and most persevering students
that I've ever encountered.
Hi, I'm Ken Burns,
Congratulations to the Yale class of 2017
My advice is pretty simple:
Know yourself,
persevere,
And now, in these difficult times,
engage.
Congratulations, Class of 2017
Never stop humbly discerning
and bravely pursuing
all that truly makes life worth living.
Congratulations, you did it,
you're graduating, we're so proud of you
Good luck!
It's been really great to work with you.
I'd especially like to acknowledge
and congratulate
those of you that endured
the dreaded Biology 102
foundations course with me.
I wish you the best
and I hope that you will continue
to share your passions with others.
Congratulations, Class of 2017
You're wal-rrific!
Congratulations to the Class of 2017
and special shout-out to the physicists
I do have one piece of advice:
that is to always do your best
and when your best happens
to be just staring out the window,
that's all you can muster,
to be gentle with yourself.
Congratulations, Yale Class of 2017!
So do you have any advice
for the Class of 2017?
Congratulations, Class of 2017,
We wish you all the best.

Thank you for raising

that has given me these people.
Thank you to the professors

Thank you to the professors

Thank you to all of Yale's staff

Thank you for loving

Thank you to the people

Class of 2017,
I do not know what the future holds.
Thank you for walking with me

overwhelming.
We will find our way
by each other's flickering light.
Thank you.
