During her speech, Cavallaro encouraged the students to put their degrees to good use and could not get away from the word “broke”. She wanted the students to aspire to whatever they want to become and not let any roadblocks stop them. She was glad to exchange her empty bank account for all Pitt offered her during her four years at Pitt. She told the students the impact Pitt made on her life and wanted the students to go and make an impact in their respective communities. She wanted the students to remember, “You did not choose Pitt but Pitt chose you”. Commencement 2006 was beginning to come to a close with Keith E. Schaefer, MBA, the 2006 president of the Pitt Alumni Association giving the alumni welcome for all the graduates. It was concluded by the singing of the Alma Mater led by Esper and the fanfare and Recessional by Ployhar performed by the University of Pittsburgh Symphonic Band.
