008 Graduate Commencement Ceremony. The senior vice president of the International Center for Leadership in Education and former Vermont education commissioner Ray McNulty delivered the commencement address, reminding the graduates that leadership, passion and commitment are critical to both their personal success and the students they will educate. “Leadership is really about action, not position, not credentials, not experience,” McNulty said. “We should be educating for the unknown, not the known. We’ve been thinking outside the box for a long time … I want you to build new boxes for us to think in.”
