"You will confirm that your education is a key to help you open the doors of opportunity," commencement speaker Elder Richard G. Scott, of the Quorum of the Twelve of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, told 2,559 students receiving degrees Thursday. "You will likewise prove that it is not, however, a guarantee for success. It must be coupled with hard work, consistency and devotion to duty." Elder Scott also gave a list of simple things drawn from the doctrine of Jesus Christ that he said has brought him and his family success throughout the years. The list included using correct principles, exercising faith, discipline, work, prayer and the power of a smile.
