“On your diplomas, you will find the motto of Temple University: Perseverantia Vincit.
Perseverance conquers.
Your presence here today is proof of that perseverance—and of your courage. Your Temple education has prepared you to be innovators, leaders and changemakers. Now, we are all counting on you to keep persevering to remain true to your best selves.”
—President Fry, in his address to graduates at the 139th Commencement ceremony
