Aislinn Sroczynski ’18 looked out at the crowd seated in the Florida State Fairgrounds Expo Hall and said, “Millennials ruin everything.”It was a tongue-in-cheek introduction as her challenge to the class of 2018, citing sentiments she’s heard adults say but feels confident millennials have more than made up for the “ruin” in their own way.
“Our generation is more ethnically and racially diverse than any other generation. We are the most confident, connected and open to change. We are also currently on track to be the most educated generation in history, and that starts here at The University of Tampa,” said Sroczynski, citing the Pew Research Center. “As we part ways and enter the real world, we can all look back at one common denominator. No matter where we are from, what we look like, we will always be able to call ourselves Spartans. We will remember that as we transform into the most educated generation to date, we can look back and thank this university for helping us become a part of that process. Let’s show the naysayers wrong and show the world what millennials are made of.”
