Dr. Richard C. Benson, presiding over his last commencement as UT Dallas’ leader, encouraged graduates to continue to be curious as they pursue their next endeavors during his address at University Commencement. I want to point out that it is a lifelong quest,” added Benson, the Eugene McDermott Distinguished University Chair of Leadership. Keynote speaker and 2024 Miss Texas Annette Addo-Yobo BS’20 told graduates how their UTD experience can prepare them for life’s challenges. “Thank you for choosing UTD for your education, and thank you for all you have given back to the home of the Comets,” Benson said. “UTD will aways be a part of all of us, just as we will always be a part of UTD.”
