You must research and create a plan, seek out mentors for specific lessons and pour your entire self into reaching your goals. You cannot go after them with half a heart. You must remain committed to finishing the race.

“You must research and create a plan, seek out mentors for specific lessons and pour your entire self into reaching your goals,” Conway told the graduates. “You cannot go after them with half a heart. You must remain committed to finishing the race.”
MSU President, Steven W. Shirley, PhD, commented, “Minot State University was privileged to have a successful alumnus of Mr. Conway’s background and experience address the MSU Class of 2015. Nathan delivered an inspiring message to this year’s graduates; he is a role model and terrific example for our new graduates to see the path that can be created beginning with a degree from Minot State. It is always exciting to welcome “home” our MSU alumni, and it was a great honor having Nathan participate in the 2015 Commencement Exercises at Minot State!”
In closing, Conway told the students, “When you put together the elements of a can-do attitude, passion to meet your goals, mentors to guide you, and a determination to become mentors to those who come after you, it is then you will not only succeed in your career, you will find a satisfaction within yourself that is unmatched. For when you first succeed, then help others succeed, you have created a legacy for the work you have done.”
