During the address, he advised graduates and their families to reflect on these unprecedented times and thank those working on the frontlines amid the global health crisis. "Think about an undocumented father, ignored or scorned by his community, who is putting himself at risk in the fields today to feed his family and yours. Think about a single mother, who stocks shelves at night and drives a city bus in the morning, without whom so much would fall apart," he said. "Think about the hospital orderly, scrubbing down the ward on hands and knees, whose work today is as solitary and sacred as a high priest purifying a temple.
To conclude his commencement speech, Cook, who graduated from Auburn University and earned his master's degree from Duke University, also encouraged graduates to "build a better future than the one you thought was certain."
