Commencement Ceremony

Good morning.  I’m the colonial and revolutionary America expert in the history department and currently, the president of the faculty union on our campus. Today, I’m here on behalf of all 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.  You came to Millersville in the midst of a global pandemic, the consequences which we still don’t fully understand, which continues to disrupt all our expectations, and forces us to transform in more ways than I can list. And yet here you are, at the end of that 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, and enjoying the opportunity to work with you – in the classroom or 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 in action, their blossoming performances; 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, I have one final, final word. To the graduates. Go get ‘em. 

Good afternoon faculty, family members, and most importantly graduates. 

I am honored to be standing before you as your Student Body President. I may not be graduating with you today, but I am so excited to experience the joy and happiness that today brings you. This momentous occasion is filled with celebration, reflection and anticipation as you move onto this next chapter of your life. This is a moment that has been years in the making, filled with hard work, perseverance, countless milestones, and most importantly being EPPIIC.  

I remember my first day here on Millersville’s campus in August of 2022, I felt so uncertain, and I was that “lost freshman” that everyone talks about. As you are sitting here today, I want you to think back to your first day at Millersville, did you also feel lost or were you already familiar with campus. Now in many ways, today may feel the same way, even for me as I am currently giving this speech in front of you all. Filled with nervousness of what the next chapter holds, uncertain or what is to come next, and even excitement. You all are on the edge of something new, and that same exact excitement, maybe mixed with a little uncertainty, is in the air again. But this time, you’re not the same person who walked in on that first day. You’re leaving here with knowledge, experience, and confidence that only comes from overcoming challenges and pushing yourself beyond your comfort zone. 

What you have achieved here is no small feat. It is not just about the degrees you’ve earned or the courses you’ve completed. It is about the person that you have become. You have learned to think critically, to question assumptions, and to see the world from all new perspectives. You have faced obstacles, both expected and unexpected, and through it all you have persevered.  

If you would have asked Freshman me, if I were to be speaking at my college’s graduation as Student Body President. I most likely would have laughed at you and said, “are you sure you’re talking to the right person?”. I think this is a great example to show how much a person can grow in their short time attending Millersville University, and the possibilities that await you after graduation. Challenges are what helps shape us as students and assists us to become stronger and better students then when we first started our college journey. 

And for some those challenges were academic—those long nights studying for exams or tackling projects that felt impossible. For others, finding personal balances—like debating if you should go to Sheetz for a fourth time this week, which I am guilty of. No matter what challenges you have faced, you rose above them. And today, you sit here not just as graduates, but as people who have proven, to themselves and to the world, that they are capable of great things.

Congratulation, Class of 2024. You’ve earned this moment, and the world is waiting to see what you will do next. I have no doubt it will be extraordinary. 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. 

Good Afternoon Members of the Council of Trustees, President Wubah, Faculty, Staff, Families, Guests, and my fellow Graduates. 

I stand on this stage today excited, honored and absolutely terrified. When I received the invitation to give today’s moment of reflection, I was elated but self-doubt gave me pause - should I accept this honor and responsibility? Or should I let the what-ifs deter me? Ultimately, I realized that what I was experiencing was actually an ideal moment-of-reflection theme. At some point, all of us have been fearful of stepping outside of our comfort zone and taking on a new adventure or opportunity. For some of you undergrads, it may have been leaving the familiarity of home to come here to Millersville as a freshman. For all of you parents and family members, it was the fear of watching your 18 year old go out into the world on their own for the first time (I’ll be there with you this coming fall) and for the graduate students, it may have been, “How am I going to balance my family, my job, and rigorous coursework?”. But, we are here today to celebrate the fact that we have all done it. We have faced our fears and anxieties, persevered through the tough times, leaned on our loved ones when we needed to, and relied solely on ourselves at times to get to this point, walk across the stage today, and celebrate our graduation.

As a graduate student, I would attend classes here at Millersville in the evenings. I would get into my car after a long day of middle school teaching, honestly tired and just ready to go home. However, after every evening of class, the same thing happened - I would drive home re-energized and invigorated by the three hours of learning and discussion with professors and classmates. That speaks volumes about my experience here at Millersville. My graduate education here has given me the confidence, knowledge and connections to take the next steps in my career. George Eastman, founder of the Eastman Kodak Company affirmed, “The progress of the world depends almost entirely upon education”. We lessen our doubt and fear when we continue to learn, and we better prepare ourselves to make decisions when we are at a crossroads or moment of doubt. So, today, I say to not only my fellow graduates but to everyone in the room, embrace the discomfort of uncertainty, reflect in moments of doubt and challenge yourself to positively impact the progress of the world. 

Good afternoon.  Faculty, staff, families, friends and most importantly graduating students, welcome you to the fall 2024 commencement ceremony of Millersville University.

To our graduating students, today is a testament of your determination, resilience, and the hard work that has brought you to this milestone. Whether you are the first in your family to earn a degree, continuing a legacy of higher education, or embarking on a new career path, you have earned this moment, and we are very proud of you. 

Commencement is a time to reflect not only on the individual achievements but also on the larger significance of education in our lives and society. Higher education is a transformative force that broadens perspectives, fosters critical thinking, and empowers individuals to create meaningful change in their communities. 

At Millersville University, we are especially excited about our mission to provide high-quality, affordable and accessible education. As a regional public university, we understand the critical role we play in creating opportunities for students from diverse backgrounds, including first-generation students, veterans, and those balancing work, family, and studies. Today, your accomplishments demonstrate the power of education to unlock potential and build a brighter future. 

As we celebrate your achievements, it is also important to acknowledge the broader context in which you have pursued your education. Higher education today faces many challenges such as rising costs, rapid technological advancements, and questions about how institutions can remain relevant in a changing world. I believe these challenges are opportunities for innovation and transformation. For example, advances in technology, including artificial intelligence, are reshaping how we learn and work. As graduates, you have not only adapted to these changes but also embraced them, positioning yourselves as leaders in an increasingly complex and interconnected world. 

Your time at Millersville has equipped you with more than just subject matter expertise. You have gained the skills to think critically, adapt to change, and approach problems with creativity and collaboration. These are the qualities that will set you apart and enable you to thrive in whatever path you choose. 

We are all aware that your journey to this day has not been without challenges. Many of you navigated the unprecedented disruptions of a global pandemic, balancing your studies with personal and professional responsibilities in ways that no one could have anticipated. Others overcame financial, social, or personal hurdles to reach this milestone. 

Through it all, you demonstrated astonishing resilience and perseverance. These qualities will serve you well as you embark on the next chapter of your journey. Resilience is not just about overcoming challenges; it is about using those experiences to grow stronger, more compassionate, and more determined. 

As you reflect on your time at Millersville, I hope you also remember the sense of community that supported you along the way. From your professors and mentors to your peers and loved ones, you have been part of a network of individuals who believed in you, challenged you, and celebrated your successes. This community is one of the greatest strengths of our university, and it will remain with you as you move forward. 

We are living in a time of rapid change and complex challenges, from addressing climate change and social justice to fostering economic innovation and global cooperation. As graduates of Millersville University, you are uniquely prepared to lead in these efforts.  Leadership is not about holding a title or position; it is about using your knowledge, skills, and values to make a difference. It is about listening, learning, and collaborating to create solutions that benefit others. 

I urge you to think about the ways in which you can use your education to contribute to your communities, industries, and the world. Whether you pursue a career in teaching, business, STEM, the arts, or any other field, remember that your actions have the power to inspire, uplift, and create positive change. 

As the writer and activist Maya Angelou once said, “I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.” Let this idea guide you as you step into the future—seek ways to serve, to give back, and to create opportunities for others, just as you have benefitted from the opportunities afforded to you. 

Before I conclude, I want to take a moment to thank the people who have supported you on this journey. To the families, friends, and loved ones in the audience today, thank you for your unwavering belief in these graduates. Your encouragement, sacrifices, and love have been instrumental in their success. 

To our faculty and staff, thank you for your dedication to teaching, mentoring, and empowering our students. Your passion for education and commitment to excellence have helped shape the graduates we celebrate today. 

And to our graduates, thank you for choosing Millersville University as the place to pursue your dreams. You have enriched our campus with your talents, perspectives, and contributions, and we are a better institution because of you. 

As you prepare to leave Millersville and embark on new adventures, remember that this is not the end of your journey—it is the beginning of a new chapter. Your time here has equipped you with the tools to succeed, but the rest of the story is yours to write. 

Stay curious, stay resilient, and stay true to the values that have brought you this far. Seek out opportunities to learn and grow and never stop striving for excellence. 

And always remember, you are part of the Millersville family. No matter where life takes you, you will always have a home here. Miller and Sville will be waiting for your visits to campus.

As you move forward, carry the spirit of Millersville University with you—the spirit of determination, curiosity, and service to others. Don’t forget the EPPIIC values that have shaped your experiences at Millersville. Know that you have the power to create a brighter, more equitable, and more inclusive future. 

Thank you for allowing us to be part of your journey. We celebrate you today, and we cannot wait to see all that you will accomplish in the years to come. 

Congratulations, and best wishes for a future filled with success, happiness, and purpose. 

Thank you. 

President Wubah, members of the Council of Trustees, the President’s Cabinet, graduating students of the class of 2024, and all gathered today, happy Saturday afternoon. 

With pure gratitude, I stand before you this afternoon. It is both an honor and a privilege to serve as your keynote commencement speaker. I stand before you today as one who has a long-term connection with Millersville University; a university that has played a tremendous part in cementing the foundation of my personal growth and professional journey. 

Graduating students, what seems to have been just yesterday to me, but in actuality was eight years ago, not wanting to weather the outdoor elements in a longer spring commencement, I sat where you are now, but as a December graduating student of the class of 2016.  

Mr. Tom Baldrige, former president of the Lancaster Chamber of Commerce & Industry delivered the keynote address to my graduating class. During his keynote, Mr. Baldrige shared this statement "Her 20-year journey to a degree crystallizes the value of perseverance." Who was Mr. Baldrige referring to? He was referring to me. As a part-time college student taking only one and sometimes two classes per semester here and there, yes, it took 20 years to graduate. I did it while working full-time here at Millersville, raising two sons as a single mom with the assistance of my loving family, maintaining a household, and dealing with unforeseen life obstacles. It was through a journey of struggles, challenges, tears, and sleepless nights that I embraced the reward of my labor in obtaining a college degree so dearly. 

A takeaway I hope you find from just a snapshot of my journey is that if you find value in something, no matter the level of difficulty, the length of time, or the number of setbacks you may encounter, find the strength to persevere and don't give up; for in the challenges you may face are learning opportunities for development in your own personal and professional lives. 

In profound ways, Millersville assisted in shaping me not only through academics but also through relationships and experiences that I could never have imagined. I remain thankful for the life-changing opportunities Millersville afforded me over the years. Paying it forward, I graciously embrace the opportunities of returning to my alma mater contributing back to a community that gave so much to me. I am proud to be a Millersville University alumna leading a family legacy of honored graduates and soon, another graduate; my youngest son who after completing just one more class during the spring semester, he too will be a Millersville graduate, class of 2025. 

Whether you leave today to begin your career, are furthering your education, or venturing out to explore new horizons, know that Millersville will always be part of your story. A story that I hope you are proud of. Reminisce about the fun times that brought you joy and laughter. Remember those who had a profound impact in inspiring you to do your absolute best. Reflect on the situations that brought about personal growth, never forgetting the experiences that helped shape and enrich you. 

I leave with you, as you embark on your next and future chapters, a few words I find important in life. 

The first is Service. 

Whether you choose to volunteer, mentor, or simply lend a listening ear, make service a priority. One of life's greatest rewards comes from the impact you make on the lives of others. Through service, you will not only enrich the lives of others, but you too will also acquire an enrichment in your own lives of valuable knowledge and empathy. One thing people always tend to remember is how you make them feel. In giving back, you will discover purpose and fulfillment beyond your imagination. 

As a community leader and volunteer, one of many areas I find pleasure in is the opportunity to meet, greet, and share words of encouragement with elementary, middle, and high school students at the start of their school day. As I, along with other volunteers, greet students with a cheerful “good morning friends" and offer morning snacks, it is the return of a warm and sometimes shy smile, a handshake, a high five, and especially the embracing hugs that make our time engaging with students so meaningful.  

The second is Network. 

The connections made, past and future, will become some of the most valuable resources in your life. Stay connected with those who have aided in your successes and even those who challenged your thoughts and perspectives. By continuing to build relationships, new business opportunities, support, and services may arise.  

Know that networking is two-sided It is about giving and receiving. It is a valuable collaboration opportunity to exchange information and gain innovative ideas. 

Always remember that the relationships you build are not simply about networking; it is about building a community that will sustain you in both triumph and adversity. 

As one who struggled with self-confidence and not believing that I was good enough, I am blessed to have a network of individuals who have seen in me what I did not see in myself. I am where I am today thanks to my network who pushed me, encouraged me, and supported me in facing my fears of stepping outside of my comfort zone and sharing my voice because they knew that I had what it took to succeed and that I had much to offer to others. Graduates, be that important network for one another. 

And lastly, Fear Not 

Life will challenge you. It will test your patience, your perseverance, and sometimes faith in yourself. Believe that every challenge is an opportunity to gain experience and to grow. "One of the greatest discoveries a man makes, one of his great surprises, is to find he can do what he was afraid he couldn’t do.” Henry Ford Fear is a state of mind. Fear is a choice. Fear is normal. Utilize your network, find the courage to conquer fear, and do not allow fear to hold you back from living and experiencing the wonders of life. 

I have struggled with the fear of public speaking most of my life. I had such fear as a college student that I waited to take my speech course until it was available during the summer sessions when the course length was shorter and the class size was smaller than the spring and fall terms. Although the fear still exists, by being mindful of the importance of embracing challenges, I stand before you today taking advantage of the opportunity to encourage and inspire you while embracing my fear.  

Students, as you leave Millersville, remember that your journey is uniquely yours. Carry the lessons learned here with you as you travel and do not be afraid to carve new paths. Be adaptable and maintain a growth mindset. With integrity in the forefront, make ethical decisions and maintain good mental health & wellbeing practices because your health is critical to your life. 

With love, kindness, and compassion in your heart, I wish you resilience in times of challenge, relationships that enrich your life, and the courage to serve others with passion and purpose. With gratitude, reflect on your amazing achievements and always utilize your unique gifts & talents to inspire and enhance the lives of others. Come together and celebrate moments that brighten the lives of others, come together to comfort one another during times of need, embrace life, and move forward bringing about positive change in the world.

The world we live in is complex and rapidly changing which leads us to face challenges in unchartered waters. With the courage to act and stand up for what’s right, in all spaces that you occupy, promote mutual respect and create an inclusive environment where everyone feels a sense of belonging and acceptance. As you lead with confidence and commitment, may fairness and justice be your driving forces. 

Family, friends, faculty, and staff, thank you all for the countless ways in which you have supported this amazing student body over the years. I am certain that your support played a significant role in guiding this graduating class to their seats here today. 

December graduating class of 2024, you did it! My sincere congratulations on this immense achievement. You persevered over the years when we faced a pandemic that shocked and devastated our world. You faced school/campus closures; adapting to remote learning; disruptions in social life; job losses; economic challenges and lingering financial stress; various health issues; and technology distractions just to name a few. When you find yourself facing challenges and uncertainties ahead, labor through them; know that you are not alone and do not be afraid or ashamed to seek help. From where you are seated here today, you have already demonstrated that you have the ability, strength, and power to prevail over obstacles and be victorious. May your future be filled with endless possibilities. 

It was an honor for me to deliver this keynote to the Millersville University class of 2024. 

Congratulations once again!

Words by Esther E. Lenhardt, Class of 1910, and Sanders P. McComsey, Class of 1917
Music arranged by Melzer R. Porter

VERSE 1 
Millersville, we sing to thee, 
Hymns of praise and loyalty. 
Sons and daughters staunch and bold, 
Follow ’neath the Black and Gold. 
Here we fight for truth and right, 
Shield and buckler ever bright. 
Rich in truth we’ll ever be, 
Millersville, we sing to thee. 
 
VERSE 2 - (NOT SUNG) 
Stately trees and campus wide, 
We recall with thoughts of pride. 
Rippling lake and ivied walls, 
Memories of thy classic halls. 
Forth we march to bring thee fame, 
Spirits light and hearts aflame. 
Hopeful, faithful, earnest, true, 
Still thy standards to pursue. 
 
VERSE 3 
Honor, fame and glory bright, 
We inherit through thy might. 
Scholarship thy first great aim, 
Proudly still uphold thy name. 
Alma Mater, we adore, 
Thy great spirit evermore. 
Gratitude and reverence may, 
Millersville, be thine for aye. 

THE NATIONAL ANTHEM
The Star-Spangled Banner

O say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
