What does JD have in common with NY Gov. Eliot Spitzer?
Actually nothing!
Although, Spitzer has shared the stage with ITE’s Royce D’Orazio.
Spitzer spoke at Royce’s College Graduation from Adelphi University; so did Royce.
Someone should send Eliot Spitzer part of his own speech, he may need his words of wisdom.
READ BELOW (Notice: Royce is mentioned; unrelated to Spitzer’s potentially criminal activity of course.)
Attorney General Eliot Spitzer was the keynote speaker. Mr. Spitzer received an Honorary Doctorate in Law from President Scott, assisted by Trustee Jeh Johnson and Professor Samuel Natale, in recognition of his prosecutions of sophisticated white-collar crimes that have resulted in some of the nation’s largest fraud recoveries. His investigations of conflicts of interest on Wall Street have provided the catalyst for dramatic reform in the nation’s financial services industry and thus, in his remarks to the Class of 2003, Attorney General Spitzer used those Wall Street scandals as a cautionary tale in warning graduating seniors to be wary of the notion of “business as usual.”
“There will be a long period in which you have to put your head down and work hard to establish yourself.” But there will come a time, he said, “when your ethics will be tested. … How will you respond?”
Adelphi University Student Government Association president, Matthew Garofalo, represented his 2001 classmates in bidding farewell to the college while looking ahead to being “masters of our own future.” Royce D’Orazio, President, Class of 2003, advised students not to fear change and presented a plaque to Dr. Scott from the recent Senior Pledge Drive, while Donna Banek ‘91, President of the Alumni Association, concluded the program by reminding the exuberant graduates of the successes achieved by the 80,000-plus alumni who had emerged with their diplomas from that same Stiles Field.
