Commencement Ceremony

Graduates, Family, Assembled Faculty, Administrators, Trustees and Guests,

I’m Dr. Oliver Dreon, president of APSCUF, the faculty union at Millersville. On behalf of the hundreds of faculty members I’m honored to represent, let me congratulate you. Today celebrates your dedication, your persistence, and your willingness to tackle something challenging. The faculty are proud of you and grateful to be part of your journey.

As I look across this sea of regalia, it evokes memories of my commencement ceremony. On April 28, 1991, two thousand graduates from the University of Pittsburgh gathered at the Civic Arena to receive their degrees. The commencement speaker that day was Clark Kerr, an economist who served as the first chancellor of the University of California. I can close my eyes and envision that event and the moving, inspirational words that Dr. Kerr shared that day.

I wish I could tell you I remember every word Clark Kerr said that day.

But the truth is—I wasn’t even there.

I didn’t attend my undergraduate commencement. I didn’t attend my master’s ceremony a few years later, either. I wish I could say I was doing something important like traveling around the world or working on ground-breaking research in some lab. The truth is far more banal. I chose not to attend. Looking back, I can’t remember why I made that choice. Maybe I thought I was being a counter-culture rebel. Or maybe I thought it was cool.

Looking back with the benefit of time and experience, however, I can see that choice for what it was.

I was being a selfish knucklehead.

I’m happy to say that all of you are a lot smarter and more selfless than I was when I graduated. But since I can’t build a time machine to talk some sense into my younger self, I’m going to share with you what I would like to say to him.

In our lives, we’re given a finite number of milestones—those meaningful rites of passage that deserve to be marked and remembered. Weddings. Baptisms. New jobs. Important awards. Retirements. And, yes, graduation ceremonies. Each of these moments represents an achievement and a shift in identity. They say something about what we’ve done and also who we’ve become. 
 
And each one deserves a gathering, a moment to celebrate. Like today.

While today’s commencement honors this important milestone in your academics, it also recognizes it as a shared achievement. You were the person in the arena, fighting the good fight. But you had countless people standing in your corner, supporting you along the way. Maybe it was a parent. Or a sibling. Or a spouse. Or a valued teacher. Regardless of who that person is, they played a part. None of us accomplishes something great alone. The people in our lives provide the wind beneath our wings and the shoulders we stand and sometimes cry on.

And while today’s ceremony honors your achievement, remember that it is also a shared celebration. We’ve gathered to celebrate you and celebrate with you. Take those pictures. Share those hugs. Thank the people who helped you get here. Make today one of those rites of passage you remember with joy.

In closing, I congratulate you on your academic accomplishments, and I join your loved ones in celebrating everything you’ve done.

And more than anything, I celebrate that you aren’t a selfish knucklehead. 

Tevon Kerr-Hornbaker, Student Government Association President

Good afternoon faculty, family, friends, and most importantly our graduates.

What an incredible day to be here at Millersville University. Standing before you as Student Body President is both an honor and a privilege. While I won’t be walking across the stage with you today, I feel so lucky to share in the energy and pride that fills this room, because today is about you. It’s about every late night, every challenge, every moment of doubt that brought you to this point of triumph.

When I first arrived on campus in August 2022, I remember feeling completely unsure of myself trying to find my classes, my people, and maybe even my purpose. I’m sure many of you can look back to that first day and remember that mix of excitement and uncertainty. And now, here we are years later in a moment that carries those same feelings again. Except this time, you’re not that first-year student anymore. You’re leaving as someone who’s grown, learned, and proven what you’re capable of.

What makes today so special isn’t just the degrees you’ll receive, it is what those degrees represent. They represent the strength to keep going when things got hard. The courage to ask for help when you needed it. And the willingness to keep believing in yourself, even when you weren’t sure where the road was leading.

If you had told me a few years ago that I’d be giving a commencement speech, I probably would’ve laughed and asked if you were sure, you had the right person. But Millersville has a way of transforming us of showing us what’s possible when we step outside our comfort zones and let ourselves grow.

And you’ve all done just that. Some of your challenges may have been academic, like long study nights, impossible projects, or 8 a.m. classes that felt like they started at 3 a.m. Others might have been personally trying to balance life, friendships, work, and still making that trip to JDogs on Thursdays. But no matter what obstacles you faced, you made it here. You pushed through, adapted, and thrived.

That’s the power of perseverance. That’s the meaning of being EPPIIC. It’s not just what Millersville stands for, it’s what you now carry with you wherever you go next.

As you step into this next chapter whether it’s graduate school, a new career, or an adventure that’s still being written, but remember this: you already have everything you need to succeed. You’ve proven that you can handle uncertainty, rise to challenges, and lead with purpose. 
So take pride in how far you’ve come, stay curious about where you’re headed, and never underestimate the impact you can make.

Congratulations, Class of 2025. The world is waiting for you — and I can’t wait to see what you do next as you embark on this next chapter. 
Thank you. 

Yetunde Agbanigo - Graduate Reflection Speech

Good afternoon, President Wubah, distinguished faculty, staff, families, friends, and the Class of 2025. It is an honor to stand before you all today.

When I arrived at Millersville University as a graduate student, I carried with me a dream, to learn, to grow, and to find a community that would shape my purpose. What I did not know was just how deeply this place would impact me. My journey here has been filled with challenge, discovery, and, above all, compassion.

During one of my most difficult moments, I was supported by the EPPIIC Compassion Fund, an act of kindness that reminded me that this university is not just a place where we earn degrees, it is a place where people truly look out for one another. That support carried me forward, and it is something that I will never forget.

Throughout my time at Millersville, I had the privilege of working in several offices across campus that shaped my experience in meaningful ways. Working with the Catering Department taught me adaptability, teamwork, and the importance of service, often behind the scenes, ensuring that events and celebrations came together seamlessly.

My role in the Financial Aid Office gave me a deeper understanding of how vital access and support are in helping students stay on their academic paths. And as a Graduate Assistant at the Center for Health Education and Promotion, I found my purpose. There, I saw firsthand how strongly Millersville values student wellness, physical, mental, and emotional. From leading mental health and suicide prevention programs to helping coordinate campus-wide outreaches, I learned what it means to serve a community with empathy, intention, and heart.

Academically, my master’s in Sport Management pushed me to see the bigger picture, how sport can be a powerful tool for belonging, motivation, and well-being. Through my research on student-athlete wellness and the Be Responsi’Ville alcohol harm reduction strategies project, I discovered that leadership is not just expertise, it is responsibility, creativity, and compassion.

As an international student, I learned the courage it takes to step into the unknown. Every new system to learn, every relationship to build, and every challenge to overcome became part of a larger story of resilience. And through it all, Millersville became a home that embraced me fully.

Today, as we celebrate this milestone, I am reminded that our journeys may look different, but they brought us all here, to this very moment and ready for what comes next. We are leaving with more than knowledge, we are leaving with community, confidence, and the understanding that our actions can truly make a difference. 

To my fellow graduates, wherever your path leads, carry with you the values that guided us here, Excellence, Professionalism, Public mission, Integrity, Inclusion, and Compassion. These EPPIIC values are not just Millersville’s, they are our tools for living with purpose.

Congratulations, Class of 2025. May we go forward with courage, gratitude, and a commitment to making the world better than we found it. Thank you.

Kevin Ryder - Undergraduate Moment of Reflection Speech 

Good afternoon, Millersville Class of 2025. 
 
Today, as I stand before you, I am filled with gratitude, humility and joy. My journey to this moment in my life has been anything but ordinary. It began 44 years ago. This was the first time I set foot on Millersville’s campus with the dream of earning a degree. Life had others plans for me. Career, family responsibilities and other unexpected detours pulled me away from finishing what I had started. Yet my dream never faded. It simply waited patiently for me to return. Over the decades, I learned that education is not confined to the classroom or in textbooks. It lives in the lessons of perseverance in the courage to start again and in resilience to keep moving forward even when the road is long and winding. Each chapter of my life has added depth to the meaning of my degree. Now standing here I realize that the value of this achievement is not just in the diploma itself, but the journey that led me here. Millersville University has been more than an institution to me it has been a partner in my growth. Professors who encourage me. Classmates who inspire me. Staff who supported me and reminded me that it was never too late to pursue my goals. This community welcomed me back after decades away proving that education is timeless and that determination knows no age.

To my fellow graduates: Whether your path was four years or forty-four years we share the same triumph today. We have overcome obstacles, doubts and setbacks to reach this milestone. Let this moment remind us that persistence pays off and dreams are worth chasing. And success is sweeter when it is a hard-won.

To my family and friends thank you for believing in me, for cheering me on and for reminding me that finishing this degree was not just possible but necessary. Your support carried me through the moments when I wondered if I could really do it.

For all of you remember if you feel your dreams are too far gone let my story be proof that it is never too late. Whether it is four years or forty-four years the pursuit of knowledge and personal growth is always worth it.

This afternoon I celebrate not only the completion of my degree, but the fulfillment of a promise I made to myself decades ago. I stand here proud, not because the journey was easy, but because I never gave up.

I stand here not as someone who finished late, but as someone who finished strong. This isn’t the end of the journey, it’s proof that every chapter, no matter when it’s written matters.

Thank you, Millersville University for giving me a chance to finish what I started.

Here is to perseverance, to lifelong learning and to the belief that dreams delayed are not dreams denied.

Congratulations to the class of 2025. 

Good afternoon. Trustees, distinguished faculty, devoted staff, cherished families and friends, and—most importantly—our graduates—welcome to Millersville University’s Fall 2025 Commencement Ceremony. Today, we gather to honor achievement, perseverance, and the extraordinary potential embodied in each member of the graduating class.

Look around you. Feel the atmosphere in this arena. It is filled with pride, anticipation, and the unmistakable energy that comes when a community pauses to celebrate a remarkable milestone. Graduates, today is your day, a day shaped by your hard work, resilience, and unyielding determination.

Commencement is one of the most sacred traditions of our University. It marks not only the completion of a rigorous academic journey, but also the beginning of a new chapter—one that you will author with the insights, skills, values, and character refined during your time at Millersville.

As we reflect on your journey, it is important to acknowledge that you earned this degree at a uniquely complex moment in history. Higher education, the workforce, and global society are experiencing rapid transformation—economic shifts, technological disruption, demographic changes, and evolving civic expectations. For many of you, your education spanned years shaped by a pandemic, global uncertainty, and new societal demands. And yet, through all of it, you persevered. You continued learning. You continued striving. You continued believing in the promise of your future.

Your ability to adapt—to hybrid classrooms, to new technologies, to changing pathways—demonstrates a strength that will serve you well long after you leave this arena. Resilience is not merely surviving disruption; it is learning from it, growing through it, and emerging stronger and more capable. That resilience will remain one of your most valuable assets.

Here at Millersville, you have been part of a vibrant community devoted to scholarship, service, and transformation. You have learned to think critically, engage deeply, and collaborate effectively. You have explored ideas that challenged your assumptions, built relationships that will last a lifetime, and contributed to a University dedicated to excellence, equity, and impact.

Our EPPIIC values—excellence, professionalism, public mission, integrity, inclusion, and compassion—have shaped your experience. Carry them forward. The world needs graduates who lead with integrity, who welcome diverse perspectives, who act with courage, and who approach challenges with curiosity and compassion.

We know that the future awaiting you is dynamic. Artificial intelligence, global interdependence, and new economic landscapes are reshaping every sector. But these changes also open pathways for bold thinking, innovation, and leadership. Whether you are entering the workforce, beginning graduate studies, joining the military, starting a business, or contributing to your community in new ways, your Millersville education has prepared you not just to keep pace with change, but to help shape it.

As you prepare to leave Millersville, I want to share a brief reflection. Imagine a traveler setting out at dawn. The path ahead is long, winding, and unfamiliar. Along the way, the traveler encounters steep hills, rocky ground, and unexpected turns. Yet the journey also offers breathtaking vistas, new companions, and moments of clarity that could not have come without the effort of climbing.

Graduates, you are that traveler. Your time at Millersville has equipped you with a sturdy foundation—the intellectual tools, character, and confidence that will guide you as you continue along your path. The challenges you faced during your studies were not there to stop you; they were there to strengthen you. They were there to deepen your roots, sharpen your insight, and prepare you for the responsibilities and opportunities ahead.

And now, as you take the next step, remember that your story is still unfolding. You have only written the early chapters. The pages ahead are blank, waiting for the choices you will make, the values you will uphold, the relationships you will build, and the contributions you will offer to the world.

Before I conclude, I want to express deep gratitude to the people who made today possible:

To the families and loved ones—thank you. Your sacrifices, encouragement, and belief have sustained these graduates throughout their journey.

To our faculty and staff—thank you for your exceptional dedication. Your mentorship, scholarship, and unwavering commitment to student success are the cornerstone of this institution.

And to you, our graduates—thank you for choosing Millersville University. Thank you for enriching our campus with your talents, your voices, your creativity, and your dreams. You are forever part of the Millersville family, and we are immeasurably proud of all you have accomplished.

As you go forward, stay curious. Stay courageous. Stay compassionate. Carry the spirit of Millersville with you wherever you go. And remember, no matter how far your journey takes you, this University will always be your home.

Graduates of Fall 2025, we celebrate you. We believe in you. And we cannot wait to witness all that you will achieve.

Congratulations, and best wishes for a future filled with purpose, joy, and extraordinary possibility.

Thank you. 

Mr. Tim Mayza

Good Afternoon Millersville Graduating Class of 2025! I want to welcome all the graduates, families, and honored guests.

I want to start off by thanking the commencement committee, Victor Ramos, and his team for inviting me to be your winter commencement speaker.

I also want to thank Dr. Daniel Keefer and Dr. Richard Glenn.  Without their guidance and advisement, I would not have been able to pursue my degree and graduate while playing professional baseball.

As a proud Millersville University alumnus of the Class of 2018, I know the hard work that you have put in to get to this point in your life – as you prepare to walk across the stage and accept your diplomas.

Much like me, you could not have done this without a supportive team around you: Parents, siblings, coaches, friends, teammates, and faculty. They all have played a part in your accomplishments.

When thinking about how I wanted to address you today, I reflected on how truly special this place was for my own development academically, socially, and professionally.

Academically, Millersville forced me to think and evaluate thoroughly and independently.

As a student athlete, I quickly found out the importance of time management, being able to balance classroom assignments, baseball practice, and team parties, which I believe were mandatory to maintain team morale.

Athletically, Millersville baseball gave me resources to improve my game holistically, whether it was pitch-execution or physical improvement through strength and conditioning.

And socially, Millersville gave me the teammates who helped to push me on the field through motivation, internal competition, and constant feedback. It brought out the very best in all of us. And those same teammates? They are now lifelong friends.

I was fortunate to learn about and participate in a winning culture instilled by my coach, Jon Shehan—a coach, who from Day 1, believed in me and set a standard of excellence for every one of his players.

And I will NEVER forget the most important connection Millersville gave me – my wife Darian, who is here today. We first met in front of the Anchor through the introduction of one of my teammates. Two years later, we started dating, and we eventually became lifelong partners who are now raising 3 beautiful children.

You can say that Millersville has given me everything:

• An academic foundation for life after baseball
• An athletic platform for improvement that eventually led to being drafted
• Friendships that have lasted a lifetime
• And, of course, Darian, my forever partner

Now, I know what some of you may be thinking: What words of wisdom can this baseball player provide us -- when it took him 8 years to graduate, and the degree he graduated with has not been put to use in his current profession?

Well, Millersville gave me more than just academics. It taught and instilled values in me that I carry throughout my personal and professional life.

And the 8 years to graduate? That was due to a detour I took in order to achieve my dream of playing Major League baseball.

I hope today that I can inspire all of you to go after YOUR dreams.

Now for the 2025 graduates.

You all are remarkable and unique in how you have gotten here and prepared for this VERY moment. Remember that while today is the end of your chapter here at Millersville, it is just the beginning of what is the start of the rest of your lives.

With that, I want to offer some values and qualities that I think are common in what I have experienced in baseball and what you will experience moving forward. Since baseball is the language that I am most comfortable speaking, I will be drawing comparisons between baseball and what many of you will face upon leaving here today. 

Joy and Passion

I play a kid’s game for a living—and man is it fun. My passion for the game has made my journey to the top worth it. The joy makes the morning workouts, the long seasons, and pushing through the slumps easier. 

You have selected a major that you are passionate about.

Next is finding the job that will allow you to keep that burning passion and enjoyment. Not every day will be great, but if you LOVE what YOU do and are truly PASSIONATE about YOUR careers, YOU can persevere through the ebbs and flows that come your way. Wherever you choose to end up, remember the happiness.

Teamwork

In baseball and in most post-college professions, you will be tasked with working together with colleagues to achieve common goals. Much like a baseball clubhouse, you will have to put differences aside and trust that everyone is there for a common goal.

Win or lose, these are the people you will get close to, who will help you get through the grind of a 162-game season. Trust your team, which includes the colleagues you lean on in a professional setting, as well as the network of friends and family who surround you and will be honest with you. They will give you praise, but they also will not be scared to give you the harsh truth as well. Everyone needs a support system.

Choices

The choices you make will shape your life. Every choice comes with a risk and potential consequence. Every day I make choices. For example, the choice of what pitch, in what location to throw to Aaron Judge – which I admit I am still trying to figure out.

• Do I lean on my strengths or does the hitter have a glaring weakness?
• Do I get to the field early and get a lift in?
• What time do I go to sleep to ensure proper recovery?
• What food do I fuel my body with to maximize performance?

When at Millersville, I did not make the proper food choices. I got called into coach Jon Shehan’s office because I decided to crush 2 donuts for breakfast. But don’t worry I now have a more balanced diet –ONLY 1 donut in the morning.

In all seriousness, even the minor choices have an impact on our futures. Choices have impacts both big and small. Remember, there is always risk involved with any decision we make.

• Attempting a stolen base
• Trying to turn a single into a double
• Or a double into a triple
• This requires risk and betting on yourself.
• Take calculated risks and be confident in your decisions.
• Hurdles will come
• And you will be faced with challenges – but continue to bet on yourself.

Overcoming Failures

You can strive for perfection but -- news flash -- none of us are perfect.

Baseball is a game of failure.

• Giving up hits, home runs, or being demoted.
• Failure is something I have stared in the face, but this game has taught me that those failures are temporary. They are not permanent. In the same year, I was released by one team and pitched in the World Series with another.
• You will be faced with uphill battles, people doubting if you can be trusted, and even counted out. Nobody is perfect or going to be on their “A” game every day.
• Every hurdle, or bump in the road, is an opportunity to adapt, learn, and come out stronger.  If we are grounded and stay in control of our purpose and vision, we can embrace those failures, stay committed, and be resilient in the pursuit of our dreams.

Celebrations

In baseball, we are reminded to celebrate all victories.

The high five, fist bump, bat flip, or my favorite, the champagne shower.

As you go into the world, remember to celebrate the singles or small victories. They are just as important and meaningful in your journey as the larger accomplishments.

As you prepare to leave today – diploma in hand – remember that you received a top-notch education that you will carry forever. Millersville provided you with so much more than what you learned in the classroom. It has instilled the value of hard work, the power of teamwork, and the knowledge that learning does not stop when you leave the classroom; it must continue in order for you to be truly great at your craft.

In closing,

• Keep your eye on the ball.
• Stay determined, committed, and focused.
• Remember to pursue your passions and dreams full speed, being confident in your decisions along the way.
• Lean on your village for advice when needed, and do not be afraid of the honest truths. They can propel you to make the necessary adjustments to push forward with great success!

Dream Big, Class of 2025!

I believe all of you can reach your fullest potential.

Thank you and Congratulations.

I wish you all the best of luck in your future!

THE ALMA MATER

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?
