i see the charge of being at wellesley as being largely similar. the reason you all collapse in this space is not so you can have this basic experience of being smart and demonstrating that to the world -- it is how you are going to use that education, that competent you are developing, and how it is you are going to apply that in ways that make the world better. for black men, lgtbq transgender folks, how you were going to please your agency in democracy and make the world better. that often sounds so grandiose. but it really isn't. we really have the responsibility to be here and to say something. not to just be here and get -- did that make sense? >> it did. >> i want to make sure i am not just saying "hey" and you're all "whatever." any other comments, questions, pushback? >> thank you first for being here. i was a bit confused on the question -- is there any "there" there?
