Brandon Davis '17, president of the Class of 2017, gave the class response. He addressed his classmates, "Look around at the diverse and strong individuals that have helped shape your experience at Elmira College. We can thank the institution for the vast opportunities it has provided us, and the education we sometimes take for granted, considering the thousands who are not as fortunate. So I thank Elmira College for bringing us together, for fostering an intimate community we only know as wonderful."

Deanne Slater-Johnson, mother of Liz Johnson '17, was named the Parent Candlelight Speaker.
