1 P.M. Commencement Ceremony

Speech by Dr. Oliver Dreon

Graduates, families, faculty, administrators, trustees, and guests,

I’m Dr. Oliver Dreon, president of APSCUF, the faculty union at Millersville. On behalf of the faculty I’m honored to represent, congratulations. Today celebrates your dedication and persistence, and we are proud of you and grateful to have been part of your journey.

Your journey will continue after today’s celebration. Some of you will begin new careers in exciting new fields. Some of you will venture off and travel to new locations. Others will continue their education by enrolling in graduate school to pursue degrees in science, medicine, and law.

When I graduated some thirty years ago, I wish I could say that excitement and adventure were on my horizon.

Instead, I moved back home and returned to my high school job at Kmart. In my defense, I needed to save some money before starting graduate school in the fall. I also really loved that job at Kmart.

For those of you who might not be familiar, Kmart was the Target of its day. My coworkers and I joked that if you couldn’t find something at Kmart, you probably didn’t need it.

During my time at Kmart, I did a host of different jobs. I stocked shelves, ran the register, and mixed paint. But my favorite job was running blue light specials.

Blue light specials were a uniquely Kmart phenomenon. Throughout the day, the store would offer special discounts on products, and my job was to push around a podium with a beacon light on the top and announce the special to shoppers.

At specified times during the day, I’d turn on the blue light and get on the PA system and say:

“Attention Kmart shoppers, I’d like to call your attention to the flashing blue light at the front of the store…”

And people would run from all over the store to that flashing blue light. They knew that something special was happening.

I didn’t realize it at the time, but that job taught me something important. At most points in our lives, there won’t be a flashing blue light to let you know that something important is happening.

You won’t see one the night you meet your future spouse.

Or when your child takes their first steps.

Or when you have your last conversation with a close friend.

Life sadly doesn’t work that way. Most of the really important moments in our lives may not reveal themselves until years later. To live life to its fullest, you need to be present and pay attention.

But today is different.

There may not be a flashing blue light, but the pomp and circumstance make it clear: this moment matters.

We are here to celebrate you.

So be present today. Enjoy it. Soak it in. This is one of those moments.

And when you leave here—when the ceremony ends and life moves forward—remember this: pay attention, even when there’s no blue light.

In closing, I leave you with this:

Attention Millersville graduates… congratulations!

Speech by Tevon Kerr-Hornbaker

Thank you, Dr. Gasparich 

Hello Trustees, President Wubah, and most importantly graduates! 

We did it!  

Do you remember that first day? This finish line probably seemed years, even decades, away. But we met every challenge head-on, pushed through every obstacle and earned this moment. On behalf of the Student Government Association and entire student body, I want to congratulate you, because it was not an easy task. 

One of the things that often gets lost in the rush of graduation is that for the past years, Millersville stopped being just a school we attended. It became a home. This campus holds the memories of every late-night, every study session, every Evergreen trip, and every small moment that you now hold dear. It’s the comfort of knowing your people were just down the hall – those friends you found by accident became the anchors of your life.  

We didn’t just walk these paths; we grew on them and created them. Driving down George Street for the first time, I knew instantly that this was “it.” It felt like the small-town community I grew up in. And that is exactly what we built here: a community that will stay with us no matter where our next paths leads.  

This Millersville community has shown us many important things, like being EPPIIC. It is one of the many foundation pillars of being a Millersville graduate. These six terms years  are a blueprint for our future and have given us essential character traits and tools that ensure we don’t just succeed, but leave a lasting, and positive impact on the world. 

Now before you walk across the stage today, take a second to connect with your younger self, the one who was still mapping out the future here as a Marauder. Can you see that version of you in the stands right now? They are beaming with excitement and joy as you complete this chapter and step into the next. And as you look in the stands find your family, friends, loved ones and give them a wave, I’ll give you a moment to find them.  

And as I look out at you today, I am filled with immense gratitude. Serving as your SGA President for the last two years has been the highlight of my four years at Millersville. You didn’t just elect me; you’ve challenged me, inspired me, and taught me about what it means to lead with passion. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your friendship, your trust, and for allowing me to be your voice. You have shaped me into the person I am today, and you’ve made Millersville a home I will truly miss. 

Now I want you to go out and make your lasting impact on the world, and I can’t want to see what that impact will be.  

Thank you, and Congratulations Class of 2026! 
 
 

Speech by Almina Masic '26

Graduates, faculty, families, and friends, it is a true honor to stand before you today. As we gather to celebrate, let us take a moment to reflect on the journey that has brought us to this point.

Today represents more than a milestone; it reflects the hard work, late nights, early mornings, and determination that brought us here. It also honors those who supported us throughout this journey: mentors and professors who offered guidance, classmates who encouraged us, and friends and family who believed in us even during moments of self-doubt. Above all, it reflects Millersville University, where we learned to think critically, act with compassion, and pursue growth with purpose.

Reflect on your first days here. Some of us arrived with clear goals, others with curiosity and nerves. We soon learned that growth isn’t a straight path. There were challenges, surprises, and lessons, some in class, some through projects or discussions, and many from stepping out of our comfort zones and discovering who we are.

Looking back isn’t just nostalgia; it’s seeing how far we’ve come. We’re not the same people who first walked onto campus. We’re stronger, wiser, and ready for what comes next.

As we look ahead, it’s natural to feel excited and maybe a bit uncertain. However, we don’t need to have all the answers. What matters is carrying forward the lessons from our time here: curiosity, empathy, perseverance, and a commitment to keep learning. These qualities will stay with us long after today.

Let’s take a moment to appreciate the dedication it took to get here and the challenges we overcame, individually and together. Most of all, let’s see today not as an ending, but as the beginning of the next chapter in our story.

Moving forward, remember that reflection isn’t just for special occasions. It is a way to stay grounded and to recognize your progress. Let it inspire you and remind you that you’re capable of more than you ever imagined.

Carry this moment with you as you step into what’s next. Let it remind you of your strength and your sense of purpose. Go out and make your mark, lead with honesty, support one another, and keep learning and growing. The future is yours to shape. Congratulations, Class of 2026! 

 

Speech coming soon.

Speech by Dr. Mitchell Crawford

Good afternoon, everybody, and congratulations to the graduates today! It is such an honor to be joining you today. Thank you to the University for extending this kind invitation, and thank you all for letting me share this moment with you.

I received my diploma from Millersville University 17 years ago, and I remember the excitement of this day. You have worked hard, juggled priorities, and overcome many obstacles to make it to this day. Please, enjoy this moment.

I ask you to remember that you didn’t get here alone—none of us do. Look around this room: your friends and family, your colleagues, and the professors and staff who helped create this moment for you. If you haven’t already, I encourage you to thank someone who has supported you. Gratitude is a powerful thing.

Today, I would like to share three things I hope are helpful at this stage of your life and career: you have what you need, you control the energy you put into the world, and comfort is not the ultimate goal.

Following my graduation, I wasn’t sure what was next for my life. Eventually, I found a path toward medical school—though I think they must have mixed up some files because they let me in. During my first year, I had doubts about whether I could succeed, especially among classmates from Ivy League institutions with backgrounds I didn’t have.

I have good news for you: my education from Millersville University proved to be stellar. Through hard work and a lot of luck, I finished my academic years receiving awards for excellence in physical examination, diagnosis, and research. I reiterate this—you are well prepared, and you have what you need for what is next.

If we allow ourselves to be humble during transitions like today, we realize that we are like acorns. They may seem small and unimpressive, but when planted in the right environment, they grow into towering oak trees with roots strong enough to change landscapes. You have what you need to become that oak tree.

Later, I was selected to complete my residency training in psychiatry at Harvard University. Shortly after, my sister died from opioid use disorder. She was an amazing person, and her death was devastating. Complicating the grieving process was how people reacted when they learned how she died.

It’s important to say clearly: addiction is a chronic medical disease. We have evidence-based treatments, and they work as well as treatments for other chronic illnesses. If you or someone you know is struggling, please search for the SAMHSA National Helpline or other treatment resources.

As I grieved, I learned the importance of controlling my outward reactions and being mindful of the energy I brought into conversations. This allowed respectful dialogue, even between people with opposing views.

You are entering this next chapter during a time of deep polarization. You will interact with people you disagree with. Remember, you always have a choice about the energy you bring into those interactions.

Many of the most formative experiences in my life were uncomfortable. Discomfort and challenge are not always toxic. When I change my perspective and view challenge as an opportunity to learn, I almost always do.

So there it is: you have what you need, you control the energy you put into the world, and comfort is not the ultimate goal. These are suggestions, not instructions. This speech is not meant to tell you to be like me. Don’t be like me—be like you.

Think critically, challenge assumptions, and make your own mark. To the Class of 2026, I can’t wait to see how you change the world. Congratulations!

Again, congratulations, and welcome to the alumni family! 
 

The Alma Mater

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

Millersville, we sing to thee,
Hymns of praise and loyalty.
Stately trees and campus wide,
We recall with thoughts of pride.
Honor, fame and glory bright,
We inherit through thy might.

Sons and daughters staunch and bold,
Following ’neath the Black and Gold.
Rippling lake and ivied walls,
Memories of thy classic halls.
Scholarship thy first great aim,
Proudly still uphold thy name.

Here we fight for truth and right,
Shield and buckler ever bright.
Forth we march to bring thee fame,
Spirits light and hearts aflame.
Alma Mater, we adore,
Thy great spirit evermore.

Rich in truth we’ll ever be,
Millersville, we sing to thee.
Hopeful, faithful, earnest, true,
Still thy standards to pursue.
Gratitude and reverence may
Millersville be thine for aye.

The National Anthem

O say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hail’d at the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro’ the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thro’ 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?
