1 P.M. Commencement Ceremony

Welcome! I’m chair of the History department and currently, the president of the faculty union on our campus. Today, on behalf of all the faculty, I 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 as we mark our graduates’ important transition to the next phase of their lives – whether that be starting careers, furthering professional instruction, or pursuing advanced academic work.

I want to speak first to the graduates themselves. Congratulations! You did it! 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 of which we still don’t fully understand, which continues to disrupt 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 achievements.

But the next thing I want to tell you is thank you. Thank you for the trust you’ve placed in the faculty to educate and train you. 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 in 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. 

Hello President Wubah, cabinet members, trustees, esteemed guests, and most importantly, the graduating class of 2025.

First, on behalf of the entire Student Government Association and the entire student body, I want to congratulate you - go ahead and give yourself a round of applause! It is an absolute honor to be standing before you today as you experience the joy and excitement of graduating from Millersville University. Even though I am not graduating alongside all of you, I am incredibly proud to celebrate this milestone with you. 

Today marks the peak of years of hard work, perseverance, and growth. I want to take a moment to reflect on what these last years at Millersville have meant. They were filled with long nights studying for exams, those unexpected fire alarms at 2 a.m., and, of course, the Sheetz runs that somehow turned into second dinners. 

But beyond all the little moments, what truly defines your time here are the friendships you've built — the people who stood by you during all those club meetings, spontaneous adventures, and moments when you needed a reminder that you could make it through. These are the friendships that will last a lifetime, with people who have seen us blossom into who we are today. And cheering you on during all this time are your families and loved ones, who have been supporting you and believing in you all the way to this incredible accomplishment. As you look back on your time here, you have to give yourself some credit for making it through all the exams, assignments, presentations, and the Millersville parking, which alone deserves a standing ovation. 

Being involved on campus wasn’t just about holding titles or attending meetings — it was about finding your people, finding your passion, and sometimes just finding free pizza. Every event you showed up for, every time you said “yes” to something new — that’s what built this amazing community we’re proud to call ours. 

And speaking of community…, when you first arrived at Millersville, you came with the goal of furthering your education. But you leave with something even greater — a community. A family. No matter where life takes you — whether it’s graduate school, your first job, traveling the world, or carving out a new path — you will always have a home here among the students, faculty, and staff of Millersville. 

As you move forward, remember that the world is waiting for the energy, talent, and passion you carry. You have already made a difference here — and now, it’s time to show the world what you're made of. 
 
Congratulations, Class of 2025 — we are so proud of you. Go out there and make your mark.

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 2025 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 2025 resolved to contribute to the Millersville University Scholarship Fund and other programs of personal significance. 

Speech by Evelyn G. Morales '25, Master of Social Work

Here we are, the day we’ve been counting down to. A culmination of our hard work, dedication, and perseverance. Congratulations, you made it.

When thinking of what to reflect on today, I thought back to my first semester when I had a public speaking class. How ironic to begin and now culminate with a speech. In that first speech I gave to my class, I remember quoting the movie Frozen 2.

“I won’t look too far ahead. It’s too much for me to take. But break it down to this next breath, this next step. This next choice is one that I can make. So, I’ll walk through this night. Stumbling blindly toward the light and do the next right thing.”

Why this quote from a children’s movie? Well, not only did I go back to school after having 5 children, but I went back after becoming a bereaved parent. With that loss, I lost my identity. I was Arianna’s mom and a caregiver, and suddenly I felt like I lost my place in the world. So, what do you do when it’s so overwhelming that you don’t know where to begin? You just do “the next right thing.”

This quote spoke to my heart when I was in survival mode. One “next right thing” after another, I have finally arrived in this moment. Here I am today, embracing this journey with a sense of self, a sense of belonging, transforming from merely survive to thrive.

I came to Millerville University with every intention to simply earn my bachelor's degree, but my experience, our experience, has been so much more than that. We are a values-based institution, a community built on EPPIIC values of Exploration, Professionalism, Public Mission, Inclusion, Integrity, and Compassion. And, we don’t just speak these values, we live them into our education, into our relationships, into everything we do here, and expand that into broader society.

Millersville used these values to guide us, to develop our skills and knowledge, and ultimately challenged us to get uncomfortable and grow. Sometimes it was a learning experience or an opportunity that were presented, and other times, it was that one person telling us the uncomfortable thing we didn’t want to but needed to hear.

Here we are today, closing one chapter and beginning a new. We are graduating in a time when our world is changing faster than we could have ever imagined and likely, we might be having feelings of uncertainty. What will our next step be in our career or academic journey? How will we navigate or even survive these times of change and uncertainty?

We do “the next right thing” but we don’t stop there. We are Millersville University alumni now and as alum, these EPPIIC values are also part of who we are now, shaping us and challenging us to do and be more. Today, we enjoy and embrace this moment but tomorrow we begin a new day. With the great privilege of education comes great responsibility. We must rise to this occasion and be leaders. So go out, use your knowledge, skills, and EPPIIC values to make the world better in everything that you do. Thank you and congratulations to the class of 2025! 

Trustees, faculty, proud families, cherished friends, and most importantly our graduates, this is a magnificent morning! Look around you. Feel the energy in the air, thick with accomplishment and brimming with possibility. Today, the vibrant tapestry of Millersville University gains a brilliant new thread – each and every one of you.

It is with immense joy and profound pride that I salute you at this Spring Commencement. This is a day we have all anticipated, a culmination of late-night study sessions fueled by caffeine and determination, of insightful discussions that sparked new ways of thinking, and of moments of both challenge and triumph that have shaped you into the remarkable individuals you are today.

As you embark on this exciting new chapter, the concept of excellence will undoubtedly be a guiding star. Excellence isn't simply about achieving a perfect grade point average, though your academic achievements are certainly to be celebrated. True excellence, the kind that leaves a lasting impact on the world, is about the relentless pursuit of your best self in every endeavor. It's about the commitment to continuous growth, the courage to embrace challenges as opportunities for learning, and the unwavering dedication to making a meaningful contribution, no matter the scale.

Think back to your time here at Millersville. Remember the professor who ignited a passion within you, the classmate who offered unwavering support during a difficult project, the moment when a seemingly insurmountable problem yielded to your persistent effort. These experiences, big and small, have woven into the fabric of your being the understanding that excellence is not a destination, but a journey – a continuous striving for improvement, integrity, and impact. Carry this understanding with you. Let it inform your decisions, fuel your ambitions, and inspire you to reach for heights you may not yet even imagine.

Now, as you step out into the world beyond these familiar halls, you do so at a pivotal moment in history. We are navigating a complex landscape shaped by rapid technological advancements, evolving social dynamics, and pressing global challenges. From the intricate dance of international relations to the urgent need for sustainable solutions, from the ongoing quest for social justice to the transformative power of artificial intelligence, the world you are entering is dynamic and demanding.

Some might view these complexities with trepidation, perhaps even a sense of being overwhelmed. But I urge you to see them not as insurmountable obstacles, but as fertile ground for innovation, for leadership, and for positive change. Your education at Millersville has equipped you with more than just knowledge within your chosen field. It has fostered in you critical thinking skills, the ability to analyze complex issues from multiple perspectives, and the capacity for empathy and collaboration – precisely the qualities needed to navigate these currents and contribute meaningfully to shaping a better future.

Engage with the current affairs that shape our world. Stay informed, not just through headlines, but through thoughtful analysis and a commitment to seeking truth. Be active participants in the conversations that matter. Use your voice, your skills, and your passion to advocate for the values you believe in. Remember that progress is rarely linear; it requires courage, resilience, and a willingness to engage in difficult dialogues with open minds and respectful hearts. Your Millersville education has provided you with the foundation to be informed, engaged, and impactful citizens of the world. Embrace this responsibility, and let your actions be guided by a commitment to creating a more just, equitable, and sustainable future for all.

Finally, as you prepare to turn the page to this exciting new chapter, I want to leave you with a story. It’s a simple one, but one that has resonated with me throughout my own journey.

Imagine a young sapling, planted in fertile ground. It starts small, seemingly fragile against the vastness of the world around it. It faces scorching sun, strong winds, and periods of drought. There might be times when it bends, when it seems like it might even break. But if it has strong roots, if it receives the nourishment it needs, and if it possesses an inherent resilience, it will not only survive, but it will also grow. It will reach for the sunlight, its branches will extend, and it will develop a unique shape and character, shaped by the very challenges it overcame.

Your time at Millersville has been like nurturing those roots. You have absorbed knowledge, you have forged connections, you have developed strength through overcoming academic hurdles and personal growth. The challenges you faced – the demanding coursework, the moments of self-doubt, the balancing of responsibilities – these were not meant to break you, but to make you stronger, to deepen your roots, and to prepare you for the winds that you will inevitably encounter.

As you leave this campus today, you are no longer saplings. You are young trees, your roots firmly planted, ready to branch out and make your mark on the world. You will encounter new challenges, new storms. There will be times when you feel the pressure to conform, to take the easy path, or to doubt your own capabilities. But remember the resilience you have cultivated here. Remember the lessons you have learned. Remember the strength of your roots.

And just as that young sapling eventually blossoms and bears fruit, so too will you. Your contributions, your innovations, your acts of kindness, and your pursuit of excellence will enrich the world in ways we cannot yet fully imagine.

Graduates of the Class of 2025, the future is not something to be feared, but something to be shaped. You are equipped, you are capable, and you are ready. Go forth with courage, with integrity, and with an unwavering commitment to making a positive difference. Embrace the unfolding now, knowing that the tapestry of your life is just beginning to be woven, and you hold the threads in your capable hands.

Congratulations, Millersville University Class of 2025! We are incredibly proud of you, and we eagerly await the remarkable things you will undoubtedly achieve.

Now, go out there and make your mark!

Speech by Dr. Washington

Good afternoon.

Dr. Wubah, the Council of Trustees, distinguished faculty and guests, thank you for allowing me to address my fellow Marauders at this, the 171st Commencement at Millersville University. To my colleagues at the MU Foundation and my friends over at University Advancement, I’m so thankful for your support and your support of our University.

These faces, staring up at me; this is why our work matters now than ever before.

To all the moms, dads, grandparents, aunties, uncles, big brothers and sisters… To all y’all... You did it! All of those years of playing human alarm clock, interest-free loan officer, motivational speaker, nurse practitioner, bodyguard, Uber driver—shuttling them from here to there… It’s all been worth it. You’re finally free… kinda-sorta anyway, right Mom?

Speaking of which. To my Mom who’s here with me today, thank you for always believing in me and being president of the Kemah Eugene Paul Washington Fan Club when I was just  twinkle in my Father’s eye.. As hard as I work and push myself, I have no idea how you’d drive us from Southwest Philly up to school in Germantown, make your way back down to West, teach a full day, somehow make us dinner, then work the closing shift at Family Dollar. I don’t know how you did it, but being a daddy and on the other side of this parenthood thing, I can understand it.  

I can’t tell you how much it means to me to have a Mom like you. I love you. And, I thank you.

To the Class of 2025: I have to say how truly honored I am to be here standing in front of you today.

It’s such an honor because I’m a Marauder through and through. Twenty-two years ago, I was sitting right where you are. On the floor of Pucillo, looking up at this (probably same) podium, thinking about how hungry I was and where we were going to eat after graduation, wondering, “What’s next?”. I walked these same streets. Killed time between classes at the SMC. Partied in Brookwood and down at the Village. And like all true Marauders, I know that House of Pie is indeed greater than Two Cousins, but the real champ, it’s the Sugar Bowl… hands down.

I found my way to this campus in 1998 through the Summer Minority Honors Program. The program was founded by Dr. John Osborne, who at the time was the Director of the MU Honors College, and it brought 20 academically talented Black and Brown rising seniors from inner-city high schools across Pennsylvania to this campus to take college-level courses, get acclimated to life on campus, and prove (to whom I’m not sure) that they were Honors College material.

Which, let me say this…  There’s a lot happening right now politically with respect to diversity and inclusion on college campuses across this country. I’m here to tell you that any program which propels students to graduate, especially those from underrepresented or historically marginalized groups, is good for Millersville.

I’d dare you, in fact, I’d triple-dog dare you to find any billionaire or well-to-do legislator down in D.C. who doesn’t believe in diversification of their asset portfolio. If we were talking about money, and trust me, it’s always about the money with them –  they’d tell you that only a fool puts, or pulls, all of his eggs from one basket. And, if diversification is so critical to the building and retention of their own wealth, and the wealth in this country, it’s mind-blowing to me that in 2025, diversity amongst our students and programming on campuses has become a four-letter word.

I mentioned Dr. Osborne earlier, and I’ve got to give props to each of the Dr. O’s up on this stage and out in the audience who believe that students—no matter where they come from, what they look like, or how much money they have—cannot only survive but thrive at Millersville with the right guidance and support.

So, for all the talk about D-E-I and those who, “didn’t earn it, I stand before you as proof, for anyone who D-E-I… “Didn’t Expect It.”

They didn’t expect this skinny Black kid from Southwest to excel in an academically rigorous program, where earning any grade less than a B, wouldn’t cut it…

Graduate Cum Laude, with departmental honors, from the Millersville University Honors College… 

Pledge a fraternity and serve as the highest-ranking undergraduate officer in his region… 

Register a business at the age of 19 from his dorm room at 310 Harbold Hall… 

Become a student leader with multiple organizations, serve MU for four years as an RA and summer camp counselor, And, stay with me… 

Go on to earn a master’s in student affairs, write an award-winning dissertation, and complete a doctorate in Higher Education,

AND move with his wife and two-year-old in tow to a village in Ghana, work at an orphanage, and help start a high school…

AND… I’m not done yet… eventually lead the Millersville University Foundation as its president, managing nearly $70 million in assets which provide support for over 1,100 scholarships and awards. 
Who knew? Who would’ve expected it?

Dr. O.  

He dared to put his social and political capital at the ’Ville on the line for kids like me. He planned, lobbied, fundraised, and fought for me to have this opportunity to address you all 26 years later. 

And I know you’ll fight too. Because doing the right thing — especially when it’s hard or unpopular—is always worth it. Not for recognition. Not for comfort. But because it makes someone else’s path a little easier and their future a little bit brighter. Whether it’s the students you’ll teach, the cases you’ll manage, or the teams you’ll lead — your courage is a catalyst for creating change. 

And that, my friends, is my first super-motivational, carry-this-with-you, if-you-leave-here-only-remembering-one-thing nugget of wisdom: Do the hard things in life. It’s where the beauty lies. 

Now, by trade I’m a marketer. And one of the first things I learned in my PR classes here at the ‘Ville, is that any good storyteller must first consider their audience. So, I did a little market research on the Class of 2025. And no surprise here—the majority of you, being born between 1997–2012, find yourselves smack-dab in the middle of Generation Z. 

Here’s what the research says about you Zoomers: 

Gen Z has an 8-second attention span—but it’s not because you’re unfocused. It’s because you’re expert-level scanners. You know within seconds whether something’s worth your time. 
And, you’re used to ideas that come in memes, stories and reels… quick, punchy, and packed with meaning. 

So, I want to do this real quick before I start losing you. Here are 3 of the most impactful life-lessons I’ve learned since my time at the ‘Ville… in 8-seconds-or-less. 

Now this is going to be rapid fire.  

1. Thinking is difficult. That’s why most people judge. Seek to understand BEFORE seeking to be understood. With your students. Your coworkers. Your clients. Your principal or boss. Take a step back and recognize that the “what” (or outcomes) in most circumstances is often driven by a deeper “why” that has yet to be revealed to you. 
2. Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner. Your coworkers will talk about you. Your “friends” will be jealous of your success. It’s not if it’ll happen, but a matter of when. Lead with integrity and keep first things first. The success and growth of your students, clients, and teams is your North Star. Miss all the drama, and don’t allow anyone to hold you hostage with their own short-sightedness and misconceptions. 
3. Learn to fail forward. Nelson Mandela said it this way, “I never lose. I either win or I learn.” Failure is only a loss if you choose not to learn anything from your mistakes. It’s the tuition you pay for becoming a better version of the man or woman you are today. 

Which leads me back to my earlier point about doing the hard things in life…  

I pledged Kappa Alpha Psi here at the ’Ville and while I  learned a lot from my journey, there’s one poem that continues to resonate with me all these years later. 

Be strong. For we are not here to play, dream, or drift. 
We have hard work to do, and heavy loads to lift. 
We shun not the struggle, for this is God’s gift. 
Be strong. Be strong!

I can’t tell you how many times I recited that poem since the spring of 2001. For some reason, “Be strong,” has always stuck with me.  

But that last part—we shun not the struggle—meaning we learn to work with, not against struggle… recognizing it as a gift from God. Now that took me a while to catch. 

I cannot tell you how powerful it is to reframe struggle… discomfort… fear… anxiety… as gifts from God. Gifts that aren’t meant to break you, but given so that He may teach you, stretch you, prepare you, strengthen you… Like I said before, it’s where the beauty in life lies. And the fact that you are all sitting here—having gutted your way toward becoming one of the ’Ville’s newest graduates—is proof. We are strong enough to do hard things.

And it really is where the beauty lies. Overcoming, beating the odds, exceeding all the expectations this world has placed on you. There’s no sweeter victory. 

Except maybe for the day when you get to help someone else overcome and exceed the expectations of society—and their own self-doubt.

Which leads me to my final, Kemah Washington nugget o’ wisdom: 
You are uniquely positioned to serve the person you used to be. 

I’ve been running this quote into the ground over the last year, but for good reason. It has been the single most important affirmation in my life as I look toward finally becoming what I want to be when I grow up.

What makes educators and change agents like us so powerful is not what we’ve learned inside the classroom—it’s who we are and what we’ve lived through. The obstacles, the doubts, the small wins and big lessons—they weren’t just for us. They’ve prepared us to connect, to understand, and to show up for others in a way that no textbook can teach.

You’ll stand in front of classrooms filled with young people—or maybe sit across from clients—some eager, some unsure, some carrying weights you may never fully see. But you will see pieces of yourself in them. And when you do, remember, you’ve been there…

The one who questions their place in the world? You remember that feeling.

The kid who needs someone—just one person—to believe in them? You know exactly how much that matters.

The athlete battling her way back from injury so that she can remain on scholarship? That might’ve been your story too.

In all those moments, remember this Class of 2025: you’ve been equipped. Yes, you’ve been trained and will soon have the diploma to prove it. But more importantly, you’ve been shaped by life itself. Every challenge you’ve overcome, every doubt you’ve silenced, every moment you thought you couldn’t do it—and did it anyway—that’s your toolkit.

Don’t underestimate the value of that.

You have a unique voice. A unique story. And your story will help someone else write theirs. 

You aren’t just earning a degree today – you are earning a platform. And from that platform, you will teach, you will and you will inspire, and you will help others discover their strengths, confront their fears, and dream bigger than their circumstances. 

As you walk across this stage today, take a moment to reflect not only on how far you’ve come, but also look ahead. Because the work you’re stepping into matters much more than you may realize. Like Dr. O and that little program he started back in the 90’s, I need you to know that the impact you’ll have will ripple through lives, families, and communities for years to come. 

So, congratulations, Class of 2025!

You’ve been equipped to do hard things. Go find beauty in a life worth living—and always remember, it is you who is best positioned to serve the person you used to be. 

Thank you.
