The soon-to-be graduates were addressed by Ms. Chaka Asaskiwa Alexander ’24, summa cum laude who congratulated her classmates on their incredible accomplishment. Speeches were also given by Dean Thomas Mostowy of the School of Professional and Graduate Studies, and Dean Christine Gorowara of the School of Education. Read their remarks as well as those of President McGuire.
Despite intermittent rain, the commencement ceremony on Saturday, May 18th was held outside to accommodate as many family and friends as possible. Degrees were presented to graduates of the Early College Academy, the College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Nursing and Health Professions, including 23 dreamers. The President of the Red Class of 2024, Ms. Karla Lizeth Núñez Pérez ’24 — summa cum laude and a dreamer herself — gave a rousing speech to her fellow graduates, while the deans and the president deferred their comments given the weather, allowing degree presentations to begin more quickly. Read the prepared remarks.
