degree of Doctor of Business
congratulations
what a great day
president idea provost our Rowlands
members of the Board of Regents faculty
staff proud family and friends and most
importantly class of 2019 it is truly an
honor to be a small part of this
wonderful celebration this morning class
of 2019 you'll hear words of
encouragement with phrases such as the
sky's the limit and dream big because
anything is possible I stand here today
as proof that that is absolutely correct
my story began 36 years ago when I
started as an entry-level accounting
clerk at st. Elizabeth Healthcare 32
quick years and nine positions later I
was announced as a new president and
chief executive officer of st. Elizabeth
Healthcare I plan to share with you many
of the things that facilitated my
progression to the top of the charts at
st. Elizabeth but as you would guess I
have no shortcuts I was blessed in an
early age to know I love math and to all
the professors in the room I apologize I
really didn't like any other subject
this limited my options for my future
but really allowed me to focus on a
career path that suited my strengths I
shared this because it is important to
differentiate a career path from a job
and it's important to do what is
rewarding to you work hard to find and
start your career success is when you do
what you love and love what you do I get
asked quite often why do I love health
care after so many years 36 in total now
and with all the trials and tribulations
of healthcare and my response is simple
I love San Elizabeth healthcare and the
people in it I can't explain how
rewarding it is to work for an
organization that has a purpose bigger
than a bottom line I suggest that you
find a mentor a life coach someone who
can provide you with guidance and
support someone that is respected in
your organization and that you respect
be a sponge soak up all their knowledge
and learn from them I wouldn't be here
today without my mentors keep in mind
you can learn from mistakes that your
mentors make watch how they deal with
adversity so you are prepared to deal
with adversity when it's your turn and
trust me you will get your turn and when
this occurs you will not be judged on a
mistake you made but on how you dealt
with adversity as a positive attitude
for me a positive attitude makes all the
difference in the world and attitude
determines everything else in your life
if you only take one thing away from my
speech today please no attitude
determines everything else in your life
I was all I have always looked at the
glass being half full versus half-empty
I believe my attitude and my
determination to make everyone around me
better is why I progressed through our
organization kind of want to share with
you a little story and I have to preface
it because it goes back 36 years it's my
first task and this talks a little bit
about my attitude my first task I walk
in I have a desk in the back of the room
there's no personal work stations they
didn't exist
there's no spreadsheets the only
spreadsheet is a 13 column piece of
paper and there's a telephone a
telephone or something called the white
pages you don't know about it but it's a
book about three inches thick it's how
you found people in a calculator and my
supervisor came up and said here's your
first job I want you to add these pages
in the phone book some people would look
at that and say that's ridiculous why am
I doing this complain
I'm a little bit of an athlete so I have
a competitive streak in me so I wanted
to be the best the fastest so I sat down
practice actually broke a couple rules
took the calculator home practice at
home at night and I became one of the
fastest individuals on a calculator and
then when it came time to do a bank
reconciliation I could do it in half the
time others could because I was so
proficient on the calculator so attitude
does make a difference and I will tell
you it's difficult to advance in an
organization if you're not a team player
it's difficult to advance in an
organization if you don't have a
positive attitude
my favorite quote by harry s truman is
it is amazing what you can accomplish if
you do not care who gets the credit this
is what I live my life by before I
conclude I want to talk about trust
Trust is not given it has to be earned
Trust is as simple as the following if
you tell someone you're going to do
something then you need to do exactly
what you said you would do and you need
to do it exactly when you said you would
do it now I from experience and not a
positive one I can tell you I had a
little bit of issue in my career and
Trust it wasn't that someone couldn't
trust me or what it wasn't that I was a
liar it was simply that I was making
commitments and promises that I couldn't
keep because I wanted to please everyone
around me so I said I could get
something done when I knew I wouldn't be
able to get it done my mentor who I had
a lot of trust in and sat me down told
me what was going on and what
contentiously was happened to my
reputation and I simply fixed it by
sitting down with people requesting
projects negotiating a time when they
could get done and then delivering what
I said I would do today we are gathered
for one reason to celebrate your dream
your dreams sometimes forgotten and
fueled you it follows you sometimes even
when you try to ignore it without your
dream your diploma will be just a piece
of paper it is your dream that will
bring your deployment to life
what I wish for you what your friends
was for you what your professors wish
for you is that you use your education
stay positive
work hard and go go out and fulfill your
dreams once you achieve that dream and
we know you will
don't settle be optimistic pick a new
dream and go achieve that one to
continue dreaming even bigger one day
you will find yourself looking back 30
years thinking just how fortunate you
were to have lived such a credible
wonderful life thank you and
congratulations
to introduce our student speaker this
morning please welcome Hanna Eden
president of the Student Government
Association and member of the Board of
Regents good morning
it is my honor to introduce Nathan
Francis our student speaker this morning
who is graduating from the College of
Health Professions with a Bachelor of
Science in Nursing Nathan may be
graduating kumoi day today but like many
students he struggled academically in
his first semester of school however
this did not deter him from his dream of
becoming a nurse in an in addition to
working harder than ever on his studies
he decided to complement his academics
with real-world experience by becoming
an emergency department technician at
Mercy Anderson hospital in addition to
his academics and work outside of school
Nathan is also a very invested member of
the NKU community he serves as the
president of the student Nurses
Association he is a member of Sigma tall
theta the international nursing Honor
Society and he is very involved with a
Baptist campus ministry after graduation
Nathan plans to become an emergency room
nurse with a long-term future in trauma
nursing please join me in welcoming mr.
Nathan Francis to the podium
teamwork such a simple word with such a
profound meaning the definition of
teamwork is generally self-explanatory
working as a group for a common goal the
who is simple - with each other but the
why is when things get a bit muddy we've
been told our entire lives that we are
unique that we should do what we want
for the betterment of ourselves that we
are beautiful individuals who can give
something to the world
a one-of-a-kind work of art and while
this is true what if it were a tapestry
what if the culmination of every person
and their beautiful unique one-of-a-kind
personas and personalities were meant to
combine to create a breathtaking work of
art that when put together there's
nothing that compares to it a quart of
three strands is not easily broken this
is a Bible verse and some of you may
know it and others may not regardless
the meaning holds true together we are
stronger
therefore if three strands are
exponentially stronger together imagine
how strong a hundred or a thousand
strands could be and if you organize the
strands in the right way what do you get
I can this you see alone we may be
beautiful we may be intelligent and we
may be successful but together we make
an all inspiring resilient work of art
that builds each other up to be even
better than any of us could have
imagined to be on our own so I'd like
everyone to look to the person to the
right and to their left and if you're on
the end of a row I'm sorry
just give the person next to you in
awkward high-five or something
you may know them then you may not but
that's okay that's kind of the point
just know that there's a person next to
you a person with pain with loss with
hopes and dreams just like you you see
bring it being an individual as being
unique in every way and yet living with
other people not just in proximity to
them it's being yourself without
changing who you are not conforming to
the environment because you know why you
hold the values and beliefs that you do
as we go out into our lives to partake
in the ever daunting trek up the
mountains of our various career paths it
can be easy to forget that you aren't
the only person facing the same
intimidating journey you aren't alone in
the mountain there are always people
around you never forget this never
forget them take the time to help the
person next to you because your helping
hand could be a lifeline three strands
together make a thread but a massive
strings make a tapestry be part of the
tapestry be part of the canvas that is
bigger than yourself thank you

alumni and our community and of course
to our wonderful staff thank you always
for putting our students first and
continuously thinking about their
success another round of applause for
our faculty and staff please
speaking of success supporting our
students journey is at the forefront of
everyone's role in responsibility on
this campus I want to share with you a
recent example of how NKU came together
at the last minute to help support our
students a few weeks ago the adult
learner programs and services had two
student parents come to them and
mentioned they were having difficulty
paying for graduation caps and gowns for
today
they reached out to our university
connect and persist office who then
contacted with alumni programs and
special events and guess what they all
came together and provided our two
students proudly wearing their caps and
gowns today but the work is not done
these offices now realized that they may
be other students who may have the same
challenge and so we're trying to find a
way that we provide ongoing support for
any student who wants help at graduation
I've witnessed this commitment to
students and to learners throughout my
first 300 days on the job during my
first year as president of NKU I've seen
firsthand the impact of our talented
faculty and staff that they have on the
students lives I've gotten to know so
many of our wonderful students met so
many of our alumni who proudly carry the
no spirit with them throughout the
region and throughout the country I've
connected with community leaders
business partners and K through 12
educators to understand our University's
role in serving Greater Cincinnati and
Northern Kentucky I was privileged to
celebrate what makes our university
great during inauguration week we
celebrated our community our students
our faculty and staff and I was deeply
honored to be installed as the sixth
president by the Board of Regents during
a memorable investors - ceremony in this
very arena just last month the Board of
Regents unanimously approved success by
design and kayuu's three-year strategic
framework this framework will guide us
in providing greater access to higher
education for all deserving students
help our students overcome barriers to
completing their education or goals and
to advancing opportunities for
career and community engagement for all
learners it's been an exciting time at
NKU and i'm thrilled to be able to wrap
up this academic year with all of you a
few minutes ago you heard from one of
your fellow graduates
nathan francis and when I thanked Nathan
for sharing his inspiring story with us
today Nathan's story is also one of grit
determination perseverance and triumph
it is a story that reflects many of our
students in the audience today for so
many of you I'm sure this journey has
not been without its challenges and
adversity but you have persisted and are
ready for the next phase of your journey
the late great Nelson Mandela once said
it always seems impossible until it's
done but the story of Nathan is also
about the kind of place that NKU is an
institution committed to being a student
ready regionally engaged University

and social mobility indeed we believe

Dupree the American business leader and
