A true honor to share that John Garrett, our founder and CEO, and proud Sam Houston State University alum, delivered the Commencement Ceremony address to SHSU’s Class of 2025 this morning.

SHSU’s motto, “The measure of a life is its service,” reflects John’s own belief that strong communities are built when we use our talents to serve others. At Community Impact, we share SHSU’s mission of service to the state of Texas and we can’t wait to cheer on the next generation of Bearkats who will continue that legacy starting today.

To the future leaders of criminal justice, media, arts, and beyond: Your creativity, innovation, and dedication have the power to strengthen communities across Texas.

Congratulations, Class of 2025! 🎓🧡
