Fioretti offers words of wisdom at commencements

The Northern Illinois University College of Law celebrated both the classes of 2020 and 2021 on May 31 in separate ceremonies at the NIU Convocation Center. Alumnus Robert Fioretti (’78) served as the commencement speaker for both ceremonies. “We are at a moment in time that is calling all of us to make a difference,” said Fioretti during his commencement address. He charged the graduates to use their talents to make a positive difference in our world. He also encouraged them to be open-minded, act as change agents, dedicate themselves to issues they are passionate about and stay true to themselves. Fioretti is an attorney and former Chicago alderman.
