Austin Preparatory School :: About Austin :: After Austin
Commencement 2012

Commencement - June 2, 2012

The last time Daniel T. Niles spoke at Austin Preparatory School, he was giving his valedictory speech as a graduate of the Class of 1985.

His future was set: He would be attending Boston University and studying engineering. After, Niles earned a master’s degree in electrical engineering from Stanford University.

However, his career path took a turn along the way, and it was not an engineer, but the chief investment officer for Alpha One Capital Partners who addressed the Class of 2012 during Commencement at Austin’s MultiPurpose Facility.

“Your future is never as set or out of context as you think it is,” Niles, of California, told the graduates. “Your life is a series of choices. Do things even if others think they’re crazy.”

Austin Prep graduated 108 students during Commencement Exercises on June 2. All 108 are going on to institutions of higher learning, receiving acceptances at more than 550 colleges and universities.

Niles’ advice about choosing your own path in life was well received by the Class of 2012, including salutatorian Nicole A. Casper and valedictorian Kaleigh H. Hamilton. Both young women will attend Boston College in the fall.

“Do not try to dictate your future,” Hamilton said in her valedictory address. “Success requires flexibility and openness to new challenges.”

Congratulations to the Class of 2012
