The graduation party at the Santa Monica Campus of Cremona of the Catholic University transformed the personal result of each student into the result of a community. There were 144 students from the faculties of Agricultural, Food and Environmental Sciences and Economics and Law who launched the “touch” towards the sky. Of these, 57 are from Cremona, but the meaning of the day went beyond the physical place in which we found ourselves, the Cremona campus of the university, which this year celebrates its 40th anniversary.
On an afternoon where the emotion can be read clearly in the eyes of the children, these are the words of the bishop of Cremona, Antonio Napolionito connect to the nearby feast of Pentecost and to remember the phrase taken from the Acts of the Apostles: “Your young people will see visions and your old people will dream dreams.”. «It is a phrase that invites us to make our meeting an intergenerational building site of future, of hope, of study, research and training, conviviality in differences” says the bishop, who sends a message to those who listen that is also a wish: «May you young people be prophets, be those who look far ahead and do not let their dreams be stolen».
In front of the stage, the graduates, their families and friends are close to each other and listening attentively. The words of then come as natural Marco Trevisan, dean of the faculty of Agricultural, Food and Environmental Sciences, from which emerges the sense of belonging, which does not fear the passing of time, of those who studied at the Catholic University. «The meaning of this celebration – says Trevisan – for me it is the sense of unity and belonging that distinguishes those who have attended our university, a bond that does not disappear even when their studies are finished”. We seem to catch the echo of this statement in the story that the two new graduates tell immediately afterwards Giuditta Farina And Margherita Mozzillo: «Each of us has taken or will take our own path – they say – but whatever we do, what we have learned and experienced here, on this campus, will remain part of us.”
Anna Maria Fellegaradean of the Faculty of Economics and Law, recalls that forty years, those of the Cremona campus, are «a long period of time», but the principal also reminds us that “the strength of a university is not measured by the time that has passed since its foundation, but rather by the people it has been able to not lose along the way and lead towards their goal, making them grow in the combination of responsibility and freedom, fundamental for every adult“. «Sand I translate these forty years into the faces and faces of the people who have passed through our university – He says – I ideally see a ramification and a network of active citizens who have innervated our social fabric. Not only the Cremonese one, they have contributed to improving our country».
They were then Matilde Mineri And Ilaria Ghidinigraduates of the Faculty of Economics and Law, to talk about their experience at Cattolica, capable of preparing them for future professional challenges, they say, but also as people.
After greetings from Gianluca Galimbertimayor of Cremona, one by one the 144 graduates received their diplomas from the hands of the faculty deans, before the “touch” flew high on the grass, in front of the letters “Unicatt”, with the hope in everyone’s heart that fly so high where their dreams live.
