Jennie Cyran, a graduating senior and education major, delivered the student commencement address at Niagara University's 150th anniversary celebration in 2007. Drawing on her love of teaching and children's literature, she chose to close her speech by quoting Dr. Seuss's beloved book 'Oh, The Places You'll Go'—a work that has become a graduation tradition in its own right. The quote resonated as both a celebration and a challenge. Cyran had spent her speech acknowledging the many people who had supported the Class of 2007—from student government leaders to behind-the-scenes administrators, from families to the university's Vincentian community. By ending with Seuss's empowering words, she reminded her classmates that while their success had been a collective achievement, their future was now in their own hands.
