Keynote Speaker Albert Erisman challenged the graduates to consider their talents and their work as a “sacred trust” and not a job.
Erisman is the executive in residence at Seattle University, where he teaches business ethics. He retired from a 32- year career at Boeing, where he was director of research and development for computing and mathematics.
“Be a mentor and find a mentor,” Erisman addressed the students.
“Acknowledge that it is God you are working for. Live a life of holiness and integrity. And keep learning. We call this event a commencement for a reason,” he told the graduating class. “It is an amazing world you are entering.”
