9 A.M. Commencement Ceremony

Hello.  I’m Robyn Lily Davis – professor of colonial and revolutionary American history and the president of the campus chapter of our faculty union, APSCUF.  I’m here today on behalf of the faculty to welcome the platform party, our distinguished guests - especially our graduates - and even more importantly, their loved ones.  It is truly my privilege to say a few words to you today as we mark our graduates’ important induction into the next phase of their lives – whether that be starting careers, furthering professional instruction, or pursuing advanced academic work.  

The first thing I want to say is to our graduates themselves.  You did it!  Congratulations!  We are so pleased for and so proud of you – trust me, the faculty know more than most what a sometimes-challenging road it is to pursue and complete this kind of academic and professional training.  Many of you came to Millersville in the midst of an emerging global pandemic, which disrupted all our expectations and forced us to pivot in countless ways. Who could have dreamed we’d do college via Zoom?  Yet here you are at the end of that twisting winding journey, ready to take your place in the bright future you’re building by your own efforts and to make our communities better and more vibrant through your contributions.  So in the midst of today’s speeches and celebrations, I invite you to take a moment for yourself, to savor the satisfaction and sense of accomplishment that should come from crossing this stage. You persevered, and now here you are, about to be recognized for your conspicuous achievements. 

But the next thing I want to say is thank you.  Thank you for the trust you’ve placed in the faculty to educate and train you.  I speak on behalf of them and I know that most of your professors are here at Millersville because we value teaching, we consider it a noble profession, and enjoying the opportunity to work with you – in the classroom, in the lab, on the stage or the studio, out in the field – this work animates our creative energies, inspires us to achieve, makes our professional lives more meaningful, and gives us personal fulfillment.  Being your teachers and your advisors and your mentors so often is the best part of our work.  Thank you for letting us have that.

And that’s the final thing I want to say, to our graduates’ guests – it has been the joy of a lifetime to work with your loved ones.  Each unique, all incredible – we are so lucky that we get to see their imaginations on fire, their grit and determination, their performance; our students inspire us and they fill us with hope for our world.  We send them off with some regret, because frankly we hate to see them go, but with more pride and pleasure, because we stand ready to admire and applaud them as they carve out the lives of meaning and purpose that you – and we – wish for them and have helped to train them for.   

Okay.  One final, final word to the graduates – go get ‘em. 

Annually, the Educator of the Year Award is presented to a single faculty or staff member as a recognition of their exceptional teaching, counseling, mentoring, and advising efforts. Given that there are many forms of outstanding teaching and advising, it is difficult to provide an exhaustive list of award-worthy characteristics. The individual who has been chosen by their peers as the Educator of the Year for the current academic year has been described as a true teacher-scholar and dedicated educator who promotes excellence in the classroom and his laboratory. He is actively engaged in integrating technology into the classroom with two examples being his being an initial adopted in the MU Apple pilot program and his efforts to find no cost, open educational resources for his students.  He has authored a lab manual for General Chemistry that integrates real-world problems and promotes critical thinking. In serving as a role model, he has mentored many students in research projects that have resulted in presentations at local, regional and national meetings and eight peer-reviewed publications with a MU undergraduate student as a first author. I am delighted to present the Millersville University Educator of the Year award to Dr. Dan Albert. 

Good afternoon, Class of 2024! I want to thank you for allowing me to speak to you today on this momentous occasion.

To begin, congratulations, on this moment of your life.  This is a milestone that you will cherish forever. It has been quite a journey; we have been on the past few years. We experienced a pandemic where the future was unpredictable, and the college experience often felt not so EPPIIC. It has been a challenging couple of years during the pandemic and now coming out of the pandemic. However, I challenge you to think about all the positives or EPPIIC experiences you have had during your time at Millersville.  

The pandemic has significantly impacted our college experience. We did not receive all the stereotypical college experiences, like attending in person orientation and engaging in Millersville traditions like the Candle lighting at the Pond. We all experienced online classes, which I think we can all agree on was not the typical experience. However, it may have greatly impacted us in positive ways as well. This experience made us more resilient, driven, and appreciative individuals. Despite starting off the first couple of semesters not our average college experience, I would say that we all had great resilience on continuing to move towards our goals, make connections, and accept that change is part of life which will have a positive impact on you for the remainder of your lifetime. As it is evident today, where I stand in front of many soon to be college graduates, you all embraced the challenges during the difficult times. And we also became much more appreciative, not only of ourselves but of others. The pandemic has taught us to appreciate the little things and show kindness to those around us. We learned how we can lean on others to support one another in hard times. These experiences may not have been the average college experience we all thought we would get, but I hope you can find the positives in every day.

Now that the time is almost here, when you will finally walk across the stage and become a graduate of Millersville University and obtain that degree that you worked so hard for. So, graduates, as you all embark on this new journey, I have a simple call of action for you embrace your unique journey, learn from your failures, and remember that setbacks are just setups for future success.  And graduates, I ask that you be appreciative of everyone and every moment, always be kind, and seek the positives in every situation.

Congratulations Class of 2024! It is your time to take on the world, I know we cannot wait to see all the incredible things you will accomplish.  

Thank you!  

We have a tradition of giving here at Millersville University.  Since 1866, each graduating class has promoted a philanthropic spirit by providing students an opportunity to leave their legacy at the University they call home.  The graduating class of 2024 continues this tradition by giving back to our alma mater through the programs, departments, and teams we love and that have had a positive impact on our Millersville experiences.  In appreciation and recognition of our educational experience at Millersville University, the Class of 2024 resolved to contribute to the Millersville University Scholarship Fund and other programs of personal significance.

Graduates, you can be proud that our class will be remembered for our pride and generosity! 

Dr. Wubah, please accept our contributions as a token of our sincere gratitude to Millersville University for providing us with a high-quality academic experience that has prepared us well for the future. 

Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed faculty, proud parents, and, most importantly, the incredible graduating class of 2024:

My name is Roberto, and like many of you, my journey to this moment has been marked by trials and tribulations. I stand before you as a Venezuelan who, twenty years ago, embarked on a journey to the United States in search of opportunity and freedom. It was a decision fueled by the political instability and economic hardships that tormented my homeland. Little did I know then that this journey would lead me here today, graduating with a Master's in Social Work.

As I reflect on the journey that has led me to this significant milestone, I am reminded of the many challenges that have shaped my path. Four years ago, as I set forth on this journey, the world was cloaked in uncertainty amidst a global pandemic. In the midst of this turmoil, I grappled with profound questions and fears, compounded by the heart-wrenching loss of loved ones and dear friends. Unable to bid them a proper farewell, my resolve was tested like never before.

Yet, in the face of adversity, we found strength. With unwavering determination, we confronted each obstacle head-on, emerging stronger and more resilient than ever before. From navigating the intricacies of a new culture and language to surmounting financial hardships, immigration barriers, and personal setbacks, every hurdle we encountered served to fortify our spirit and deepen our conviction.

In moments when surrender seemed all too tempting, we chose to press forward, driven by a firm belief in the transformative power of education. For us, education is not merely a means to an end, but a beacon of hope illuminating the path to a brighter tomorrow.

My journey is deeply connected with the plight of millions displaced by dictatorship in my home country. I am profoundly grateful to have found refuge in the United States, a country that has opened its doors to countless individuals seeking freedom and opportunity. Now, as an American citizen, I am committed to being a voice for the oppressed both in my homeland and in this great nation.

Our journey has been arduous, but it has also been a testament to our resilience, strength, and unwavering determination to overcome whatever obstacles may come our way. As we stand on the precipice of new beginnings, let us carry forward the lessons learned and the bonds forged, emboldened by the knowledge that together, we are capable of achieving the extraordinary.

As professionals, we are entrusted with the profound responsibility of advocating for those whose voices have been silenced by injustice and inequality, as I felt many times. We are called to be agents of change, to stand up for the marginalized and vulnerable members of our society, and to strive for a world where compassion and empathy reign supreme. And as social workers, let us not forget the lessons we have learned along the way – the importance of empathy, cultural competence, and the power of human connection. Our experiences, both personal and academic, have equipped us with the tools to navigate the complex and ever-evolving landscape of social work.

As we embark on this new chapter of our lives, let us carry with us the values taught in us by our education – integrity, compassion, and a persistent dedication to social justice. Let us be the voices of the voiceless, the advocates for change, and the champions of a more equitable and inclusive Society.

Let us remember the words of Steve Jobs, who famously said, "Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do."

Congratulations, Class of 2024! I especially want to thank Josefa, Abbie, Gabriela, and all of you who were there with me during these four years. Today, we graduate and embark on a journey filled with endless possibilities. Let us grasp this moment and make our mark on the world.

Thank you.

Good morning/afternoon trustees, faculty, staff, family, friends and most importantly our graduates.

Welcome to this momentous occasion! Today, we celebrate the culmination of years of hard work, late nights, and intellectual curiosity. As I look out at this beautiful sea of our amazing graduates, guess what I see. I see a diverse tapestry of minds, passions, and experiences that have converged in this gym, each one unique and ready to leave your mark on the world.

Before we start the celebration, let’s recognize those who made it possible for you to get to this point in your lives. First, let’s thank your families and friends for the role they played in getting you here. Family and friends, kindly rise, or wave to be recognized. Let’s give them and those who are watching online a round of applause (PAUSE).

We are fortunate to have loyal alumni, many of whom are proud to have their children, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews attending their alma mater. A special thank you to all our legacy families and their graduates here today.

Second, I want to thank our faculty members who walked beside our graduates on their educational journey. They have guided and assisted you in the acquisition of a holistic education that is firmly rooted in the liberal arts and sciences as well as various professions. Faculty, kindly stand up to be recognized.

Millersville University, a cornerstone of our region, has equipped you with more than knowledge. You've honed your critical thinking skills, learned to collaborate across disciplines, and discovered the power of lifelong learning. You've navigated the complexities of higher education not just within these walls, but through a world that is constantly in flux.

The future you step into is brimming with challenges and opportunities. Technological advancements are reshaping industries, climate change demands innovative solutions, and the need for global understanding is more crucial than ever. But I am convinced that you, our graduates, are prepared. Your education at this university has instilled in you the adaptability and resilience to tackle the challenges of our evolving world.

Speaking of evolution, one of the most transformative forces shaping our lives today is artificial intelligence (AI). You, our graduating class, are entering a world where AI is not a futuristic fantasy; it's a reality seamlessly woven into the fabric of our daily lives. From the moment you wake up, your smart speaker adjusts the thermostat based on your preferences. Your commute might involve a self-driving car, a technology many of you once thought belonged to science fiction. AI personalizes your newsfeed, recommends movies, and even assists doctors in complex diagnoses.

This rapid development of AI presents both opportunities and challenges. On the one hand, it is transforming healthcare, transportation, and every industry. Imagine AI-powered robots performing delicate surgeries in remote areas or AI algorithms optimizing traffic flow to reduce congestion. The possibilities are truly limitless.

However, we must also acknowledge the challenges. AI raises ethical concerns around job displacement, bias in algorithms, and the potential for misuse. It is crucial that you, our graduates, approach this field with a critical eye. Be the generation that develops AI responsibly, ensuring it serves humanity in a positive, equitable way.

Here in south central Pennsylvania, you've received a well-rounded education, equipping you not just with specific technical skills but also with critical thinking, ethical judgment, and the ability to collaborate effectively. These very qualities are essential for navigating the evolving landscape of AI.

You walk in the footsteps of alumni who have gone on to contribute to professions ranging from teaching, medicine, technology, music, and entrepreneurship. Let their spirit guide you as you create your own path.

Remember, success isn't always measured by titles or salaries. It's about the impact you make on the world around you. Whether you join the workforce, pursue further education, or embark on a personal journey, strive to leave a positive mark.

Use the knowledge and skills you've gained to advocate for change, to build bridges across divides, and to contribute meaningfully to your communities.

The world needs your diverse perspectives, your creative problem-solving skills, and your unwavering dedication. Don't be afraid to make mistakes – embrace them as opportunities for growth. Learn from your experiences, adapt, and keep moving forward.

As you step off this stage today, graduates, carry with you the spirit of this university – including our EPPIIC values of exploration, professionalism, public mission, integrity, inclusion, and compassion. Let a spirit of curiosity and a commitment to making a difference guide your actions. Remember the friendships you've created here, the professors who challenged you, and the experiences that shaped you.

Finally, the future belongs to those who can adapt, innovate, and lead with a sense of responsibility. From the rolling hills of the Susquehanna Valley, you, the graduating class of Millersville University are poised to become the architects of that future.

Go forth, Class of 2024, and make us proud. The world awaits your brilliance.

Congratulations!

Dr. Tamara C. Willis ’99

Distinguished Faculty, Honored Guests, Esteemed Graduates of the College of Education, It is with immense gratitude and a profound sense of honor that I stand before you today, humbly recognized as a distinguished alumna of our beloved alma mater. Standing her today, I am reminded of the journey that brought me to this moment – a journey shaped by the transformative power of education and the commitment to serve others. For over two decades, I have had the privilege of serving as an educator and administrator, working with students from diverse backgrounds and communities – urban, suburban, and everything in between. 

Today, as we celebrate your remarkable achievements and the culmination of years of dedication and hard work, I am reminded of the profound privilege and responsibility that comes with being an educator. For each of us, whether we stand before a classroom of eager young minds or embark on a different path, has accepted the sacred duty of shaping the future – a future that rests in the hands of those we have the privilege to teach, mentor, and inspire. 

As we embark on the next phase of our journey, we must remember that our education extends beyond the classroom. For many of us, including myself, this journey represents more than personal achievement. I stand before you as the first member of my nuclear family to graduate with a bachelor's degree, a testament to the unwavering determination and sacrifices made by my mother, who herself had only a ninth-grade education. Her resilience inspired me to pursue excellence and to serve others with compassion and humility. 

In my journey as an educator, I have witnessed the remarkable resilience, courage, and determination of students who have faced unimaginable challenges. I have worked with first-generation families where the student was the sole English speaker, yet their families entrusted me with the great responsibility of providing their child with the tools they needed to succeed. I have stood beside students with learning differences, offering them support and encouragement as they navigated the complexities of the educational system. And I have nurtured those experiencing significant trauma – from abuse and abandonment to the devastating impact of addiction and loss. 

In each of these experiences, I was reminded of the transformative power of education – the power to uplift, empower, and inspire. As educators, we have the privilege and responsibility of being beacons of hope and agents of change in the lives of our students. We can create safe, nurturing environments where every child, regardless of their background or circumstances, can thrive and fulfill their promise.

We have a responsibility to advocate for equity and justice, to challenge systemic barriers and inequalities, and to ensure that every student has access to the resources and opportunities they need to succeed.

One educator who significantly shaped my professional trajectory was my first-grade teacher, Mrs. Jennings. Despite the various forms of trauma that pervaded my home life, Mrs. Jennings possessed a remarkable ability to perceive potential in me that I hadn't yet recognized in myself. In all fairness, it might have begun the day I excitedly announced at school that I had spotted her husband, Peter Jennings, anchoring World News Tonight. Nevertheless, Mrs. Jennings saw promise where others might have seen only barriers. 

She went above and beyond to advocate for my unique learning needs. She arranged to have me tested and even visited my home personally to conduct the assessment when a bout of chicken pox prevented me from attending school.  

The impact of Mrs. Jennings's visit was profound. In a time when my family had very little, her willingness to visit my home made me feel truly seen and valued. Her gesture of kindness and dedication left an indelible mark on my heart.  

She provided hope and encouragement during a challenging period of my life. And, because she advocated for and conducted those assessments, I gained access to accelerated learning opportunities that would have otherwise remained unavailable to me. 

The memory of Mrs. Jennings's support continues to resonate with me today. Her belief in my potential instilled a sense of confidence and determination that has guided me throughout my career in education. I am forever grateful for her commitment to my success and the enduring influence she has had on my life. 

Today, I urge you to embody the spirit of Mrs. Jennings in your role as educators. Give your students a glimpse of their potential through your eyes. In the words of Mahatma Gandhi: "The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others." I implore you to uphold the values that have guided you thus far – compassion, empathy, and a commitment to serving others. Embrace the diversity of experiences and perspectives that await you in those classrooms, and never underestimate the impact that you can have on the lives of your students and your community. 

As future alumni of Millersville University, we carry a profound responsibility to give back – to our alma mater, to our communities, and to the next generation of leaders, innovators, and change-makers. It is through our collective efforts, unwavering support, and dedication to excellence that we can ensure the continued success and prosperity of our beloved university. 

In closing, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to each of you. Your achievements stand as a testament to your resilience, perseverance, and dedication to your noble calling of service. As you embark on your journey beyond these walls, may you carry the spirit of Millersville University – one of innovation, service, and community – with you always. And may you continue to make our alma mater proud in all that you do. 
 
Thank you, and congratulations, Class of 2024!
