RALEIGH, N.C. When Bill Cowher (’79) steps to the stage to deliver NC State commencement address Wednesday morning, he expects memories of his own graduation to flood back as well, giving the Super Bowl-winning coach a personal perspective on the real-world opportunities facing this semester’s graduates.
“This is going to be a great opportunity to talk to a group of exceptional students who are embarking on a little bit of the unknown,” said Cowher, a CBS sports analyst who guided the NFL’s Pittsburgh Steelers to a Super Bowl title in 2005. “I don’t think there’s any question regarding the challenges these young men and women will face, but while it is challenging, I also think it’s a golden opportunity for them to bring new, refreshing ideas into the field as well.
“It’s certainly going to test both their confidence and perseverance to enter into the world and perceive at it as a conquerable challenge, but my hopes are that NC State students realize that this is a great opportunity for them to make a difference as well.”
