鈥淎s an alumna, I can tell you first-hand that Scripps, both the education you鈥檝e received and the friends you have made here, will continue to be an important part of your life after college,鈥 said Board of Trustees Chair Laura Hockett 鈥85, who opened the ceremony. 鈥淲e know that what you have learned at the College will transcend the years you have spent in the community, and that in time鈥損robably very soon鈥搚ou will play important roles in this complex and changing world.鈥

Actor and producer Kelly McCreary, known for her work on Grey鈥檚 Anatomy, delivered the keynote address. She noted that the Class of 2023 had not only faced academic challenges during their years at Scripps, but had also reinvigorated the College鈥檚 on-campus culture and community after their return from pandemic-induced remote instruction.

鈥淯nder circumstances that would challenge the best of us, you remained committed to your studies, and you refined the priceless power of critical thinking that will be the engine behind all you pursue and create in life,鈥 McCreary said. 鈥淲hile the world around us is fractured by relentless cultural, economic, and political turmoil, in contrast, you have earned a reputation for knowing who you are, and what you want, and supporting one another in pursuit of those goals. You are so inspiring, and the world needs your particular skills, and your humanity more than ever.鈥

McCreary was selected as this year鈥檚 keynote speaker by senior class co-presidents Ishi Gupta 鈥23 and Elaine Yang 鈥23, who delivered the senior address to their classmates.

鈥淪cripps makes you embrace your passions,鈥 said Gupta. 鈥淲e encourage each other to explore what we enjoy, pursue our goals, and then create our own opinions from there. We have self-confidence, a self-assuredness that we got by learning, living, and growing together.鈥

鈥淲e carry our shared experience at Scripps ready to embark on our coming journey,鈥 added Yang. 鈥淎s we stand here today one last time as your senior class presidents, we urge you to fight, to dream, and to live courageously beyond Scripps.鈥
