“Now you can look back at the time you have spent here at the university studying. Did you get everything you needed from it?” Zelenskyy asked. “You have even more time ahead of you — a whole lifetime.”Zelenskyy, a former comedian and actor, is the sixth president of Ukraine. He spoke of his time on the front lines in Ukraine and dealing with the attacks by Russia. He said that although time is under each person’s control, Ukrainians are experiencing many things outside of their control.
Zelenskyy said he has “no doubt” that Hopkins’ graduates will continue that legacy as they become doctors, lawyers, engineers, politicians and more.“President Zelenskyy, your vision, tenacity and unwavering belief in the power of democracy and freedom has been a constant source of inspiration to the people of Ukraine and to millions and millions of others around the world who support your cause and the ideals for which you stand,” Daniels said at commencement.
