Christopher Hilbert Valedictorian at DWC

(Nashua, NH) — Allentown’s Christopher Hilbert graduated valedictorian at Daniel Webster College commencement ceremonies May 12 in Nashua, NH.

As an Air Traffic Management major, Chris graduated Summa Cum Laude, is a member of the Alpha Chi Honor Society, was named Outstanding Senior in Air Traffic Management, and was the recipient of the 2007 Outstanding Graduating Senior Award.

In his address before nearly 1,000 undergraduates and graduate students, faculty, staff, family and friends, he said, “I truly believe that in the quest to achieve success on the terms of others, people lose sight of the most important goal in life: the achievement of success on their own terms … I present you this thought to promote the active search of excellence in all your pursuits, pursuits which I sincerely hope originate and are measured on your own terms.”

“Take this time,” he told graduates, “to bask in your achievement, the lifelong rewards which are derived from the education and training you received at Daniel Webster College, and the equally lifelong rewards of the fun and memories made along the way.”

“I wish you the greatest happiness in life’s pursuits.”

Founded in 1965, Daniel Webster College educates men and women for professional entry and advanced studies in the fields of aviation, computer science, business and management, engineering, and social sciences. For more information, visit www.dwc.edu.
