As a top student, Shuping Yang was selected by committee to deliver remarks during our university's commencement exercises on Sunday, May 21. She expressed her appreciation for the opportunity to study in the United States at the University of Maryland and shared her views on aspects of that experience.

Yang Shuping是我校尖子生，委员会选她于5月21日（星期日）在学校毕业典礼上发言。她对有机会在美国马里兰大学求学表达了感激之情，并基于自身经历分享了一些感悟。

The University believes that to be an informed global citizen it is critical to hear different viewpoints, to embrace diversity, and demonstrate tolerance when faced with views with which we may disagree. Listening to and respectfully engaging with those whom we disagree are essential skills, both within university walls and beyond.

校方认为，我们要成为见多识广的全球公民，至关重要的一点是学会倾听不同观点，拥抱多样性，并包容自己不认可的见解。对持有不同意见者给予聆听和尊重，是大学求学和未来社会生活中的重要技能。

The University proudly supports Shuping's right to share her views and her unique perspectives and we commend her on lending her voice on this joyous occasion.

校方骄傲地支持Shuping分享观点和独特见解的权利，并对她在庆典上发声表示赞许。
