Centennial College President Ann Buller addresses Canada's Class of 2015

TORONTO, May 6, 2015 /CNW/ - Centennial College President and CEO Ann Buller is asking the Class of 2015 to "find your voice" in a heartfelt YouTube presentation urging this year's graduates – from every college and university in Canada and beyond – to distinguish themselves by pursuing a life well lived.

The 10-minute video address is a compelling and personal appeal by Buller directed at new graduates, counseling them to follow a path free of bitterness and hate, and to give something back in a demonstration of leadership that's "not about being famous…but about taking action to benefit the lives of others."

Buller is known as a passionate public speaker who has often moved audiences with her inspiring words and insightful observations. Born in Scotland, Buller arrived in Canada as a young girl with her family and lived the immigrant experience. A college graduate herself, she was the first member of her family to pursue a postsecondary education.

Ann Buller was named President of Centennial College in 2004. She is leading Ontario's first public college through a remarkable transformation as an accessible, multifaceted learning institution that has served Toronto for almost 50 years. Today, Centennial is drawing talented students from across the globe to its diverse campus environments.
