NEW YORK-At the Commencement ceremony for Brandeis University's
Heller School of Social Policy and Management, Vartan Gregorian was
awarded an honorary degree by the University, which recognized him as a
"higher education visionary, passionate advocate for the humanities,
professor, scholar and leader [whose] legacy is promoting a deeper
appreciation of the role of higher education in society." Delivering
the commencement address to the Heller School graduating class, Dr.
Gregorian urged students to leave the world a better place than they
found it. "What have you done to deserve your ancestors?" Gregorian
asked the graduates. "What will you do as ancestors of future
generations?"
On June 14, Dr. Gregorian and Carnegie Corporation of New York
hosted Global Kids, a nonprofit educational organization committed to
advancing global learning and youth development. Global Kids works
to ensure that urban youth have the knowledge, skills, experiences
and values they need to succeed in school, participate effectively in
the democratic process, and achieve leadership in their communities
and on the global stage. Recently, as part of the Global Kids annual
youth conference, high school students dedicated to the arts shared
their moving rendition of Vartan Gregorian's childhood by reading
from his autobiography, The Road to Home: My Life and Times.
To join in celebrating the fifth grade class graduation at the
Vartan Gregorian Elementary School in Providence Rhode Island, on
June 18th, Dr. Gregorian spent the day with students at the school,
which is named after him. He participated in the school's traditional
"clap-out ceremony," in which the younger grades and their teachers
stand in the hallway and applaud as the fifth-graders walk through the
school corridors to the auditorium for their graduation ceremony. Dr.
Gregorian also visited with the school's eNewspaper club and told them
that "Nobody like you is going to come again." He encouraged them
to do justice to their intellect and "to learn, learn, learn." See
