DURHAM, N.H. (AP) – The McIntosh College class of 2005 is taking home some inspirational words from White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card.

Speaking at the college’s graduation ceremony Sunday, Card told students he had no doubt they would make their dreams reality.

Hundreds of McIntosh College students received their associate degree or massage therapy certificates at the ceremony.

Many students worked full-time jobs and cared for their families while attending classes.

Card also mentioned the importance of family and how watching a child receive a degree is as important to parents as it is to the graduate.
