"Find your niche -- and don't be afraid to experiment and try new things until you do. It's been said that the two most important days of our lives are the day we were born and the day we understand why," said Postel. "And, never doubt that your story and your niche in this world matter." Postel, who received an honorary degree from the University at the ceremony, also advised graduates to keep "the tradition of service with you, because nothing can bring you more happiness or fulfillment than serving a cause greater than yourself."
