We are very proud of your accomplishment.

Dear Graduates,

Life is about growing, and being in our programs gives each of us new opportunities to continue growing and to learn new knowledge and skills that will carry with us for the rest of our lives.  Therefore, this graduation is not an end goal itself, instead of a starting point for further achievements. The person who graduates today and stops learning tomorrow is uneducated the day after. I hope you will not stop here, you will continue learning.

For those who have the intention to continue your education and to upgrade your career to the next step, we are very glad to invite you to come back again to your college. Our doors are always open to you.

Finally, I would like to say congratulations once again and wish you good luck with the future ahead.

Thank you very much! 

  All of us who have gone through this process know that but this time is unique, and we have to acknowledge that the pressures on our grads, though familiar, are also very different from the ones we felt.

Students leaving the GAGE College are entering a world and a workforce that is unlike the one many of us found ourselves in when we began our working lives. In many ways, true, it is better. We can connect with loved ones across the globe with just the click of a button. Soon, thanks in part to the efforts of researchers here at our very own GAGE Campuses, we may have the luxury of having our cars pick us up and ferry us to our destination without our having to lay a finger on the steering wheel.  But the truth is, this is an unnerving moment. People are still worried about finding work even as the economy itself is picking up. The lines that separate us, particularly politically and culturally, seem to be drawn thicker. There is a lot of fear in the world and anxiety about the future.

Much of that anxiety has been felt on our campus. Although a College attempts to create a space for fruitful study for its Campuses and students, it can’t escape reality. We have gone through a lot at GAGE College, particularly in the last year. And yet here we are, about to uphold a time-honored tradition. We do so humbly and with an eye to local, national, and international events, but this is, despite everything, a time of celebration. It’s also a time of thanks.

Campuses, I want to thank you for all of the work you have done, for your research, and for the hours you’ve spent working on curricula that you hope can reach students and light that spark that you know when you see it. Staff, thank you for your work keeping this College running smoothly, from making sure we have the research equipment we need to look after our infrastructure to making payroll.

And graduates, thank you for your diligent studies, for the vibrancy you’ve given this College, and for your passion to defend and pursue what is right. But I also want to ask something of you. We’ve prepared you the best we can. We’ve worked side by side with you. We’ve entrusted you with important research and tried our best to share our knowledge about our work and about this life. As you prepare to leave GAGE University College, I ask you to do something with that knowledge: make a better world. I assure you that this is a great achievement but, should not be the ultimate function of your goal.

Once again, congratulations on your graduation from Gage College!

We are proud of your accomplishments and it is with this high spirit of satisfaction that we join you, your family, and fellow friends in celebration of your success. Now you are graduating from Gage College with a rich history, established in 1995 E.C.

Today it is a thriving college of business, sociology, and technology with a legacy of excellence that will accompany you into a bright future. We are proud of our over 6000 graduates who have excelled in many facets of businesses, industry, and civic life.

This day, it must be a very exciting moment for you. Chasing a dream requires your efforts and passion. Hard work isn’t over when you graduated. It’s just a break as you enter the new battlefields of life. It is even more exciting if you see this as a step toward great success in the years ahead. You are laying the foundation for a better life for you and your family and, by extension, for others you encounter.

As you graduate, promise yourself that you will keep alive the finest of our values and traditions, that you will commit to truth and service as your college and that you will serve the community with distinction.

gradually fading the labeling on due course deteriorating its quality. Contrary to this you are now graduated to voraciously read, eagerly engage yourselves in inquiry and research,  and enrich your knowledge, skill, etc so as to be well versed in many areas and develop an all-rounded personality. This enables you to reach an actualization period which possibly makes your beloved motherland beneficiary.

On the other hand, we should not also promote radical, silver bullet measures to mitigate the challenges and threats, rather we use innovative, all-inclusive, and adaptive approaches to resolve the challenges and threats in order to have sustainable positive growth.

One of the most critical solutions to achieve this smart option is well thought, analyzed, holistic, concrete, reformist, problem solving, and non-discriminative depending on the economy, age, sex, or any other educational system. One that addresses social, cultural, political, and economic capital building.

Hence,  GAGE College in partnership with national and international organizations and institutions has made an effort to establish 21st-century technology-oriented higher education institutions with an endeavor to address the recommended innovative, holistic, and adaptive technology system to change challenges, intimidation, and problems of our country to opportunities and justifiable development.
