Dr. Gerard Saunders Delivers Keynote Address Offering Six Practical Guidelines For Entering Working World
“The time has come to prove yourselves,” said Dr. Gerard Saunders, guest speaker at the Awards Day Program of the Henry O. Peabody School yesterday.
Addressing the 130 graduating students, Dr. Saunders, a professor of law at Mass. Bay Community College, spoke about the guidelines young adults could use to ease the transition into the working world.
Calling his six points, “Things I Wish I’d Realized Sooner”, Dr. Saunders advised the students to weigh advice carefully but make their own decisions, keep an open mind, refrain from choosing a career only to make money, take pride in their work, remember that everyone makes mistakes, and to remember that everyone else is human too. Dr. Saunders spoke of his own graduation from Boston University exactly 25 years ago. He touched on the anxieties that all graduating students feel when leaving school to enter the larger world. “I’m happy and I wouldn’t change a thing,” Dr. Saunders concluded. “My wish is that you can make the same statement 25 years from today.”
The following Norwood residents were graduated from the Peabody School: Shelley Adelson, Karin Anderson, Joanne Arbogast, Michael Berryhill, Patricia Carr, Debra Chisholm, Karen Dello Iacono, Jaynellen Eckhardt, Susan Eckhardt, Cheryl Epstein, Paula Golden, Gregg Goralnik, Linda Grasso, Christine Greer, Susan Rogers, Anita Rondinelli, Michael Sinibaldi, Paul A. Soracco, Sandra Sullivan, Marlene Thomas, Laura Whittemore, and Ellen Wiggin.
