Honored Faculty Art Institute of Philadelphia Commencement Address

I was awarded the Honored Faculty Member award for 2014-2015 at The Art Institute of Philadelphia. The Honored Faculty member gives the commencement address at 4 graduation ceremonies. It was a terrifying and wonderful opportunity. Here is some video and photos from the first time I gave the speech at the graduation of Summer 2014 at the First Baptist Church in Philadelphia. Below is also a copy of the speech.

For my final commencement address I changed the speech a bit to discuss integrity and ethics and thank a lot of people since it was also my last day at The Art Institute of Philadelphia after 11 years of teaching there. The day was bittersweet. Below is the PDF of my final day at AIPH.
