Graduate Speaks at Naropa University Commencement

Lisa Rome '05 had the honor of delivering the graduate address at Naropa University's 2014 Commencement.

Lisa commented in an article on her blog, "I was offered the honor of a lifetime when Naropa University (where I received my Master’s degree) asked me to be the graduate speaker at my commencement in May 2014."

"I used this opportunity to speak about my deepest passions and yearnings. I talk about our role as humans on this planet, and the lessons that arise from the core of our beings when we let ourselves rest. I had a lot of fun crafting and delivering this gift, and I hope you enjoy receiving it as much as I enjoyed presenting it!"

Internationally renowned author and Buddhist teacher Pema Chödrön was the keynote speaker. Lisa received her MA in Environmental Leadership. Listen to their speeches here.
