Soutra was Keene State College's 2024 Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters awardee.  His speech came towards the end of our lengthy commencement ceremony, and from his first words, the crowd was riveted.  Mr. Soutra tells compelling, accessible stories.  His voice is both pragmatic and elevating so that his listeners are grounded and inspired.  Mr. Soutra cultivates a sense of belonging in his audience, a feeling of oneness.  People are still remarking on how his words made them feel — about themselves and the actions they could take as a result.  Dr. Melinda Treadwell, President of Keene State College
