Memorable moment: In his speech addressing his classmates, William Apotsos reminded them of the tribulations of the pandemic, highlighting their resolve in re-entering the real world from remote learning. It wasn't easy, he noted, going from Zoom calls and slow days to participating again in teams, clubs and productions, but its effect on their lifestyles was self-evident.

"They didn't just decide to be present — they refused to be absent," Apotsos said. He encouraged them to continue doing so in the future.
