Dartmouth's 2022 Commencement Address by Russell Wilson

[@reereehall6718]

What a powerful and inspirational message from Russell Wilson ! Why Not You? Congratulations to the Class of ‘22!

[@maxbessler6536]

I was in the fourth row and all the students loved it. Many were initially skeptical of him, but he defied expectations and delivered powerful messages. Be the inspiration for others. Make your legacy a daily commitment- it will outlive your physical life on earth. Always ask: why not you? Be the king or queen in the crowd.

[@itsMattMcCane]

Skeptical of what? 🤨

[@YSQ300]

What in the world were they skeptical of?

[@maxbessler6536]

Inviting a football player as a commencement speaker. Many academics and students hadn’t heard of him. I know, I’m a hawks fan and it’s crazy to think that, but it’s true.

[@darryls2141]

skeptical? .......typical

[@mariawashington9981]

Impressive, the more I learn about Russell Wilson, the more of a fan I become. 👏

[@glodiono9756]

Such a great speaker. Once he retires from football I could see him being a great speaker. The man has many gifts. Congrats Wilson family.

[@Cali235]

This made me cry.. so inspirational. One of the best commencement speeches I’ve heard

[@cherylwhite4195]

Russell Wilson is a Class Act

[@paulacarver9258]

Russell Wilson has a strong foundation that keeps him firmly planted and grounded in purpose no matter what others say about him. He doesn’t have to prove anything to a fool and I love it! Great speech Russell! It wasn’t a bunch of gibberish that left people empty but meaningful with substance that everyone can glean from and take with into the next phase of life. Super job! “WHY NOT YOU!”

[@instructionaldesign8]

Ok Ciara, you husband can sing. Simply WOW! I was moved to laughter, tears and most importantly INSPIRED! This was an AWESOME speech Mr Wilson. Job Well Done 👏 by a king that has the stage of the world!

[@missmahem]

Congratulations class of 22 what a treat to have Russell Wilson and Ciara to christen the ceremony. Blessings 🙌 💛 🙌 💛

What a powerful inspiring speech. Not only is he a phenomenal, professional athlete, he's also a humble man who speaks his knowledgeable truth's so eloquently. Awesome power couple he & Ciara. Thank you Mr. Russell. 🙏

[@MMLaFamilia]

Outstanding message! I was truly touched by it! Shout out to class of 2022!! WHY NOT YOU!!?!!

[@rsaund61]

An Ex-NFL player recently called him "square". Well, if that is what "square" looks like... I'll be "square" anytime.

[@YSQ300]

That's exactly what one of his teammates said. If taking care of his family is square then sign me up

[@tangeladejesus6477]

👏🏽 Great Job well said!!!

[@mariawashington9981]

WORD. Successful, Quality, Unwavering, Ambitious, Reliable, Exceptional.....SQUARE!

Timeless speech and message! I was in the audience as a graduate and loved his message and keep coming back to it! “Always ask: Why not you? .. Act as though you matter… There’s a king and queen in every room “

[@moniquekyahlovewilson2374]

I binge watch commencement speeches. I've seen this one pop up a number of times but ignored it. Well I finally did! Schooled me! This is by far one of the best ones I've listened to!

[@brianrosabeck]

The 12s will always love Russ !! Go get that Superbowl Russ with your new team.

This is a top notch commencement speech! Why not me? My name carries weight. His stories are great even including the Langston Hughes poem and the Marvin Sapp song. He definitely is an excellent speaker.

Why are there random people walking in the back during your ceremony? What I learned this year from attending UPenn’s commencement is Ivies have some great things going for them but your commencement ceremonies, for institutions as old and prestigious as these universities are, are not your strong suit. 🤦🏻‍♀️
