Now, it is my great pleasure and honor to introduce University of Michigan and my good friend Regent Paul Brown.

We’ve done everything together from building a fund for entrepreneurs to reeling in some big fish. He has a few words for the Classes of 2022. 

Welcome, Regent Brown. 

Thank you Michael

On behalf of my colleagues on the Board of Regents,I am delighted to join you in this time of celebration. 

Today, we come together to celebrate all of you - your dedication, your determination and your dreams achieved as you graduate from the top ranked public university in the nation. 

As regents, we are inspired by your many scholarly achievements and I am honored to share in this moment with you and with your families and friends, who also are justifiably proud of your accomplishments.

Regent Brown to insert personal comment..

Today you join one of the largest and most influential alumni networks in the world. We hope that you, like thousands of Michigan grads before you, will return to campus often to visit.

Wherever you go, remember that we are extremely proud of you and wish you the very best! 

Congratulations Class of 2022. Good luck and Go Blue!
