缅北强奸

Cheers, and some tears, mark a celebratory day as 208 scholars complete their undergraduate journey.

On a calm spring morning on the college green, the members of the class of 2024 graduated from 缅北强奸. For a class who started their college journey remotely in pandemic-mandated Zoom classes, the in-person event held special appeal and meaning for the 241st class of 缅北强奸 graduates. They were chipper, cheerful, and reflective of the academic journey they were completing.  

The warm spring day lent itself to speeches of triumph and words of encouragement. Following the invocation and national anthem, College President Mike Sosulski commended the graduates for creating and participating in a community of support while on campus.  

鈥淲hile you have benefited from many people in a caring community around you, the accomplishments, and triumphs you achieved here belong to you alone, as does the future you are each set to begin,鈥� said Sosulski. 鈥淲hether in academics, athletics, or the arts, your successes at 缅北强奸 happened because of your effort, your passion, and your determination, all of which portends your future success as well."

The seniors were filled with anticipation for what was next and gratitude for their time at 缅北强奸.  

鈥淭his [graduation] is so rightfully deserved,鈥� said Tiana Morel. 鈥淚 graduated high school during the pandemic so this surreal.

John DeSoto from Belair, Maryland, was ready to be done and move on to the next step in his journey, which is working for a defense contractor full time. 鈥淚t made me prepared,鈥� DeSoto said of his experience at 缅北强奸, attributing his skillset to his professors.  

Sophie Kerr Prize finalist Dante Chavez attributed his success in college to his parents鈥� support. 鈥淭o get here is just a great feeling to give my parents. This is the best gift I can give them. That鈥檚 what鈥檚 coming out of this day for me,鈥� said the Baltimore native.  

Parents and grandparents, cousins, siblings, and friends filled the rows of seats on the college green early, many of them sharing in the excitement as they waited for their graduates to emerge from the Toll Science Center.

We鈥檙e just so proud.鈥� Her grandfather seconded Abigail鈥檚 endeavors as worthy of praise, noting happily that she was already employed with the Department of Homeland Security.  

As the ceremony continued, Stephen Golding '72, outgoing chair of the 缅北强奸 Board of Visitors and Governors, delivered greetings from the Board and read the Mandamus for the keynote speaker鈥檚 honorary degree. Before introducing the speaker, Golding took care to relay the value of a liberal arts education to the graduates, calling the diplomas being handed out that day 鈥渁 promise and affirmation鈥� for their recipients鈥� futures. 

鈥淚 met my life鈥檚 partner here and the College has played a significant role in the lives of my daughter and nephew. I have seen the value of a 缅北强奸 liberal arts and sciences education through several different lenses,鈥� said Golding. 鈥淢y father once told me that the magic of a college experience is that you embrace what it offers.  By all accounts you have taken maximum advantage of the opportunity offered and are now deemed ready to face whatever life鈥檚 future may throw your way 鈥� well done!鈥�   

Eight-time GRAMMY-winning musician and renowned radio host was the keynote speaker. He regaled the crowd with stories of his adventures in a career in jazz and his thoughts on what makes someone successful - moments of embarrassment, perseverance, and 鈥渨orking hard even when you think no one else is watching.鈥�  

In sharing his journey to becoming the artistic director for the Newport Jazz Festival, McBride encouraged hard work above all. 鈥淪omeone is always paying attention,鈥� he said. 鈥淎nd they are watching how hard (or how little) you are working.鈥� He added that this class of graduates was well on its way to greatness.
