>>There's a tendency to think of the space age only in terms
of science, engineering and technology,
but it is much more than that.
[background noise] The space age has profoundly affected music,
art and entertainment.
It has changed education, business,
politics, communications.
It has added to health, medicine and our understanding
of the fragile environment [background music]
in which we live.
Your education, graduates, is not yet finished.
It will last your entire lifetime.
What your Purdue education has taught you is how to think
and that will make all the difference in your lives
and in the future of our nation and world,
as you apply the full potentials of the space age,
that place between your ears, to the needs
and challenges of our time.
On behalf of the board of trustees of Purdue University,
congratulations class of 2007.
To other ventures, to other worlds, may you go Boilers
and make a difference.
Hail Purdue.
[music and applause]
