鈥淚 think there鈥檚 something particularly special about our December graduates,鈥� Dean William P.

You鈥檝e juggled family obligations. You鈥檝e juggled military service. You鈥檝e juggled other sorts of commitments that command your time and energy and attention, and you鈥檝e done it successfully.鈥�
Johnson acknowledged the graduates鈥� hard work and accomplishments as well as the support and sacrifices that their loved ones have contributed over the past several years. He encouraged the students to take pride in the profession and to stay involved with SLU LAW.
Following his remarks, the five graduating students in attendance each stood for a moment to say a few words.
