A philosophy graduate has a message for the class of 2025
Clary Doyle was the undergraduate student speaker at Northwestern University's 2025 commencement. Her address to classmates has been edited lightly.
Today, I receive a degree in philosophy. Which, as many of my relatives have pointed out, means it may be a long time before I pay off my loans. So, I am both literally and figuratively indebted to Northwestern because I got to spend the past four years trying to answer questions like: What is the meaning of life? How should I live? And what is the right thing to do?
