Garcia and Stanziale used their acceptance speeches to talk to the large crowd of students in the audience.
“Everything you put into your mind, you are going to be able to achieve if you work hard,” Garcia said. “You have a guy who is on TV all the time (speaking of Stanziale) and he’s changing Wall Street with his comments and his thoughts. Then you have one person working in health. We can impact the entire world.” (Watch an excerpt of Garcia's speech).
“You come here and you get this independence,” said Stanziale. “The most important thing when you have this independence is the responsibility that comes with it." (Watch an excerpt of Stanziale's speech).
