Thank you so very much. I am absolutely delighted and honored to be here with all of you for this commencement. I want to thank Dr. Steinberg for this honorary degree. I want to thank my longtime friend and longtime member of the board here, Roger Tilles. I want to thank all of you associated with this great university. And I especially want to thank the faculty, the administration, but most of all I am here to say congratulations to the class of 2006. You have worked hard to get here. You have studied, you have taken exams, you have spent four sometimes more years getting your bachelors degrees. Many of you are getting a graduate degree after having been in the world of work. You have an astonishing number of degree programs. C.W. Post offers some 235 degree programs and so represented in this audience of graduates are so many different talents and experiences and I am so proud to be among the very first to wish you well as you leave this beautiful campus as you travel in a hundred，a thousand different directions and as each of you works hard to hold onto the sense of possibility and achievement that you have so richly deserved and earned.

非常感谢大家。我非常高兴，非常荣幸能在这里和大家一起参加这个毕业典礼。我要感谢斯坦博格博士颁给我这个名誉学位。我要感谢罗杰*蒂尔斯，他是我的老朋友，也是这儿的董事会老成员。我要感谢这所大学里的所有人。我尤其要感谢全体老师和学校领导。但最重要的是我要向2006的毕业生们表示祝贺。你们是经过了一番努力学习才换得了今天的一切。你们，参加考试，花了四年甚至更长的时间来拿到学士学位，你们中的许多人还计划在踏入职场后攻读硕士学位。你们有数量惊人的学位课程。波斯特分校提供大学235个学位课程，因此，在座的毕业生们拥有各种不同的才能及经历。当你们离开这美丽的校园，奔往成百上千个不同方向；当你们努力工作紧紧抓住每一个可能性，取得你们应得的成就时，我是其中以为最早祝福你们的人，我为此而感到自豪。
