At Worcester State, teaching comes first\u2014we don\u2019t hire anyone who isn\u2019t a truly great teacher. There\u2019s research here, too, and we have a lot to be proud of in terms of faculty research, but because we prioritize teaching, we really have nothing but truly excellent teachers<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">here. I\u2019m not going to pretend that every teacher you have at Worcester State will be the best teacher you\u2019ve ever had, but some of them really will be, and not just one or two\u2014you\u2019re going to have lots of great teachers here. So you did a great job picking Worcester State\u2014well done, good choice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We also have a great administration here\u2014they work hard and they really care. Nobody in the administration ever says, \u201cWell, we\u2019re good enough.\u201d No\u2014there\u2019s a constant, ongoing struggle to improve, to keep getting better, and so we do\u2014we keep getting better, every single year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">My point is this: Worcester State is a place where you can get a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">great <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">education. It\u2019s a place where you can get as fine an education as you could get anywhere<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">else, and I don\u2019t exclude the famous Ivy League schools like Harvard or the giant research universities like Amherst. But there\u2019s an old joke about education: It\u2019s the only business where the customer demands <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">less <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">for their money. Maybe you\u2019d like to do less homework, or take fewer classes, or cover less material. Look, if you really want, for the same price, you can get a worse education\u2014you can try to get through your courses and your whole program here doing less, or even as little as possible\u2014you can try to learn<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">as little as possible. You might still graduate (you might not, but you might), and if you do you\u2019ll get the same piece of paper in the end.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But here\u2019s the thing: It really isn\u2019t about the piece of paper\u2014that\u2019s just a piece of paper\u2014what it\u2019s really about is the actual education. And you can get a great, world-class education here, but you have to want to. And you have to work hard for it, and when I say you have to work hard, I mean you have to work <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">very <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">hard. You have to understand and appreciate that it\u2019s there for you if you want it, and you have to try to get the most out of every course you take\u2014get the most that you can out of every meeting of every class, out of every homework assignment, every reading assignment, every project, every essay. If you skip classes, miss homework, cut corners on projects, then you\u2019re cheating yourself out of the education that you\u2019re <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">paying <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">for\u2014you\u2019re getting less for your money.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And so today I\u2019m urging you to prove the old joke wrong\u2014demand the most for your money, get the best education you can while you\u2019re here. Work hard, get everything you can out of this place, leave with more than just a piece of paper, leave with a world-class education\u2014you really can.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I started by saying that we have a great faculty here, and a great administration as well. That\u2019s part of what it takes to make a great school, but it\u2019s only part of it. The rest is you\u2014all of you\u2014Worcester State is a great school if you make it a great school by getting a great education here. So, please do your best, and let\u2019s be great together. Thank you and welcome to Worcester State\u2014we\u2019re very excited to have you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Editor\u2019s note: Each year, Worcester State welcomes its incoming students to campus with a celebratory Convocation event that features student, alumni, and faculty speakers. For September 2023, Professor Hy Ginsberg was the faculty speaker. Ginsberg has been a mathematics professor for 13 years at Worcester State, and in 2023 he was recognized with the George I. Alden Excellence in Teaching Award. At Convocation, he delivered a talk to students that both inspired and perfectly captured what makes Worcester State such an outstanding educational opportunity. We share his remarks here for future generations of students.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now let\u2019s be great together.
