Sela Ward  University of Alabama Excerpt: The actress and UA alumni told graduates: "I stand here, representing what every one of you can achieve in your own way, and I assure you that the gap between us is not as wide as you might think and truly not as formidable or difficult to bridge as you may fear...The obstacles and the potential for setbacks are there, but they are part of what will strengthen you."
