NDSU spring 2022 commencement speaker Rose Yang
Graduated senior Rose Yang urged her classmates to create their own dream life when she gave the class representative speech during the 2 p.m. NDSU commencement ceremony Saturday, May 14, in the Fargodome.
Yang, who earned a Bachelor of Science degree in pharmaceutical sciences, focused her speech on her parents, Chue Yang and Chong Lor. Both are from Laos and were children of the Vietnam War era with little opportunity for higher education.
“The message I hope the audience takes away from my speech is that it’s not the cards one was dealt that determines who or what one becomes and does. It’s how one plays their cards that will allow them to create their dream life and outcome,” said Yang, who was raised in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota.
