"Starting with its founding in 1908, Montclair State University graduated 78,670 students in the 20th century. Our best estimate today is that we will graduate 347,000 students in the 21st century and you are among them. Our students reflect the true face of New Jersey and the face of the world, and they have had an emormous and positive impact on New Jersey. The 2,580 graduates whose achievements we celebrate today represent the future of our society. And graduates, we expect to find you, in the years to come, in all those places where well-educated and dedicated people are working to make our world better." -- President Susan A. Cole, May 24, 2002
