“Success is not only measured by how far we have reached our dreams, but how wisely we cared for ourselves along the way.”
An inspiring, deeply moving, and empowering valedictory address from our very own Dawn Javen P. Montes, BS Psychology, Magna Cum Laude, during the 66th Graduation Rites ceremony.
Dawn Javen reminded the Class of 2026 that today is not just a celebration of medals and titles, but a triumph of silent battles, resilience, and survival. She shared a powerful reminder that our worth is never defined by grades or achievements alone, but by the love we give, the kindness we show, and the courage we carry.
As an institution that believes "Our care shapes your future," we are incredibly proud of how our graduates have embodied this year's theme: Guided by care, shaped by innovation. You didn't just reach the finish line, you learned the beautiful, essential balance of striving for greatness while protecting your well-being.
Congratulations, Dawn Javen, and congratulations to the Class of 2026!
May you step into your next chapter with courage, humility, and faith.
