In remarks to ASMSA's Class of 2025, Executive Director Corey Alderdice shares an inspiring reflection on resilience, perseverance, and the transformative power of small actions. Drawing from the remarkable story of recovery at Mount St. Helens, where humble pocket gophers brought life back to a devastated landscape, he encourages graduates to face life's toughest challenges with courage, determination, and persistence. Just as those gophers kept digging despite uncertainty, graduates are reminded that even unseen efforts can spark lasting impact.
