every day. (music) Mr. President, the University community is assembled for

Commencement. Good morning. I welcome you to the 137th Commencement exercise celebrating the University's top priority for the academic

attainment of our students. Please stand for our National Anthem. We will be led in singing by Teresa Rose Bowser, a graduating music major with a concentration in voice performance.

Thank you very much, Miss Bowser, Please be seated. The flags on display at the back of the podium today represent the 37 countries of students graduating from Towson this spring.

As you can see, an education at Towson University not only serves our region and the state of Maryland, but also reaches across the nation and around the globe. It's now my pleasure to call upon David Nevins, a member of

the University of System of Maryland Board of Regents, who will bring greetings from the System Regents. Regent Nevins, thank you. Good morning.

Thank you very much for inviting me to share this day. As an alumnus of Towson University, coming here is always like coming home, and it is a special honor to celebrate with my former faculty member and now President Dan Jones.

Faculty, staff, parents, family, friends, and of course, members of the graduating class. I know that Towson University holds several commencement ceremonies, so I don't know whether it is coincidence or

irony that today the Colleges of Business and Economics are grouped with the College of Education. But I assure you, as you have probably not had too many classes together, that as you go through life in your careers

you'll find that you have much more in common than you may today think. There is plenty of celebrating on days like this, but commencements also encourage us to take stock of our lives,

especially during these tumultuous times. And in that spirit, I would like to offer what I'm sure is some traditional, unwanted Commencement Day advice in the form of a short quote from Desiderata written in 1927.

You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars. You have a right to be here, and whether or not it is clear to you the universe is in is unfolding generally as it

should. Whatever your laborers and aspirations in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with your soul. It is still a beautiful world.

Be cheerful. Strive to be happy? Well, that's pretty straightforward advice. Yet we have the tendency to make our lives so complex that what

should be a simple idea often is not. The admonishment to strive to be happy can become both complicated and confusing. This is especially true if we fall into the trap of believing

our happiness depends on what we have instead of who we are. It's a common mistake, I can assure you. If your happiness is based primarily on what you have, you will always be seeking more in the hope that more things will

equal more happiness. If instead you base your happiness on who you are, then what will matter most to you is your character and living your life according to the values you hold dear.

On a personal and practical note, let me explain my brief message to you this way. In this past year alone, I've had the good fortune to serve as president of Comcast Sports Net, as well as my own business, and

I've had the opportunity to attend what I think perhaps is more than a lifetime of wonderful sporting events. They've ranged from the Super Bowl to the Orange Bowl, from the Final Four to the excitement of Michael Jordan's return to

basketball. But don't get me wrong, it's a lot of fun to go, and it's even more fun to sit up front or perhaps in a corporate sky box. But it has always struck me that the people in the last row, and

even the people at home watching on television are having just as much fun, are just as happy, and are every bit as excited. Enjoy the simple things. Time with your family, a nice walk through the park, a ball

game, a book, even a great class with a stimulating professor, as I'm sure you all have. The complicated things in life will always be there for you to conquer.

Members of the graduating class, I urge you to visualize a bright future and to create it for yourselves and for others. And by the way, the relationship you have with Towson University as of today, believe it or not, is like a marriage, for better

or for worse. The only difference is you can never get divorced because from this day forward, you will always be alumni of Towson University on every resume and in every conversation.

Be proud of that. Bring credit to this institution as it has and will continue to bring to you. On behalf of the University System of Maryland Board of

Regents, congratulations on your outstanding achievement. You have earned your degree from a truly great university with a renowned and caring faculty. You would have been hard pressed, I assure you, to find a

better place. Thank you and congratulations to all. Thank you, Regent Nevins, He was actually a good student and he doesn't owe me a late paper.

We are also fortunate to have with us a member of Towson's Alumni Board, Kathleen Hope, the Shield, who will bring words of welcome from the Alumni Association. Good morning, Class of 2002, and congratulations on behalf of the

Alumni Association of Towson University. On behalf of the 90,000 alumni who have received at this stage before you, we want to welcome you to the fold. You are now an official member of the Alumni Association of

Towson University. And apparently now I am a bigamist because I now am married to all of you in a certain way, according to Mr. Nellis.

But I'll accept that. And what I'll say just as a marriage is your relationship with Towson University is one of give and take. The more you give, the more you will receive.

Come join the Alumni Association activity for me to find that as you give as a mentor the current students you will take participating in business, networking, or other opportunities to help you further your career.

So take advantage of this arranged marriage that you now have and come back and participate with us. And I'm going to say as you leave today to think about where this diploma that you're going to receive is going to take you.

It will take you as far as you want it to take you, but think also about how far you can take this diploma because we are all now responsible for taking Towson University farther and farther in the national arena where we have such a great

presence today. So I invest you with that responsibility, but also the privilege to be a member of the Alumni association. Thank you and come back and join us.

Thank you very much, Mr. Shield. It is now my pleasure to introduce Miss Jessica Frane Lanzalotti.

Miss Lanzalotti is graduating from the College of Business and Economics with a major in Accounting. She is a member of the Golden Key Honor Society and has been recipient of the Golden Key Outstanding Senior Scholarship.

She's a member of Beta Gamma Sigma, an honors business fraternity. Miss Lanzalotti is also a member of Beta Alpha Psi and Honors Accounting Finance Fraternity has been on the Dean's List

every semester of her attendance at Towson University. Miss Lanzolotti is the recipient of the Russell E Dennison Annual Award for excellence in accounting. She has been an active participant in Habitat for

Humanity and Corporate Volunteerism Day. She had just completed an internship internship with Turn Off and Associates where she will begin employment upon graduation.

Miss Lanzolotti, thank you. President Jones, Provost Leather, Regent Nevins, honored guests, faculty, family and friends. When I first learned of this honor, I was very excited and I

had to call my friends and family and tell them. Everyone was very happy and supportive. But my mom took the cake when she said, Jessica, I'm so proud of you, but what are you going to say?

I mean, that's why people don't want to go to graduations in the 1st place. They don't want to hear all those long boring speeches. So right now I'd like to say, take the opportunity to say

thanks, Mom. Way to take the pressure off. When I came to Towson University as an undergraduate, I was a small town girl from South Dakota who had waited eight

years after high school before deciding to attend college. In those eight years, I had worked and traveled, and I thought I knew a lot about life and a lot about myself. On my first day of classes though, I found out, I'm sure

like the rest of you, that I still had much to learn about colleges, careers, years, and life in general. But we are lucky because attending Towson University has provided us all with life lessons that we will take with

us today as we graduate. Now, I don't mean those life lessons that we all get through Internet chain letters. You know, the ones that say it is better to have loved and lost

than never to have loved at all. Because I've loved and lost and those people don't know what they're talking about. Rather, Towson University has given us the opportunity to

learn things that can actually make us into better people, things that will benefit us throughout the rest of our lives. Let me share two or three of the things that I've learned with

you. The first crucial thing I learned at Towson University was perseverance. Most of us have taken between 4:00 to 6:00 classes at the same

time, and we've all had to meet the schedules and deadlines for each of those classes. And crazily enough, it always seems that professors love to have their schedules coincide with those of other professors.

I'm sure sure each of you knows what it feels like to look at your calendar only to see that you've got two tests, a paper, and a group project all scheduled for the same day. But these hectic schedules have given us the opportunity to

develop those elusive time management skills. For those of us like me who did not learn those skills, think about getting up at 4:00 in the morning to start and complete a paper that's due at 8:00 AM.

Those schedules and deadlines at least gave us the opportunity to learn how to cope under pressure. We've all managed to rise to the occasion and perform to the best of our abilities, occasionally impressing not only our

professors, but ourselves as well. We've also had numerous chances to interact with a variety of different people on campus. Events and discussions held by the Black Student Union, the

Diverse Sexual Orientation Collective, and the Latin American Student Organization, among others, have all have gave us the chance to participate. Even if we didn't attend any of these events, we've all

experienced working with and learning about members of different backgrounds and cultures. Through classroom discussions and the dreaded group project, we've learned to respect the opinions of others.

These situations have given us the opportunity opportunity to learn more than just tolerance of diversity. These situations have also taught us to accept individuals who are different from ourselves.

I think, though, that the most important thing that we could have learned at college is the ability to discover our own weaknesses and to overcome them. In essence, to learn more about ourselves.

In my first year of attending classes, I was quiet and reserved. And those of you who know me know that that really doesn't describe me at all.

But like many of you, when you first stepped onto our campus, I didn't know anybody. I was shy and a little too afraid to take that initial first step to meet new friends.

Luckily, I saw that I could either go through life like that, or I could conquer that fear and get on with it. So the next semester, on the first day of classes, I boldly went where I'd never gone before.

I sat down next to someone else who was sitting alone in the classroom, and I struck up a conversation with her. This was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Because number one, that person is now one of my very best

friends in Confidant. And if I'm leaving Houston today with a diploma, I'm also leaving with a number of very good friends. But #2 I also realized that the only thing holding me back was

myself. I hope that you 2 have had the opportunity to discover your shortcomings and to beat them. I believe that these things that we have had the opportunity to

learn at Towson are worth just as much as our formal classes, and that these things will help us survive the future. Now, I don't know exactly what the future holds. I don't even know what will happen within the next 10

minutes. I do hope there's nothing in the stars about me tripping on the way back to my seat, though. What I do know, however, I know in part due to Towson

University, I know myself and I know what I want out of life. I have a few short term goals to get me started on my way and I know how to go about achieving them and that is my wish for you as well.

I hope throughout your college career you've learned more about yourself and what your goals are. I hope that with all the knowledge and experiences you've enjoyed at house and you know how to achieve those goals

because of a small town girl from South Dakota who waited eight years before attending college for me to be standing in front of you today about to receive my diploma, I just achieved one of mine.

To each of you in the class of 2000, I wish you much success in fulfilling your old own goals. Congratulations to everybody graduating today. Thank you.

Thank you, Miss Lancelotti. This is one of the happiest days of the year on our campus. We celebrate first and foremost the graduates of whom we are so very proud.

There are many others here today who share in their accomplishments. There is in particular one very special group whose contributions deserve full recognition, the faculty.

We have the finest graduating class in Maryland because Towson University has the very best faculty. Will the faculty of the University please rise, including our emeritus faculty graduates?

Please join me in showing our appreciation for this outstanding group of dedicated kid, caring mentors and teachers. Sit see how they are baby.

Joining us on stage today are leaders of the University. Through their dedication and expertise, they enable the success of our students. On the 1st row are the officers of the University, those

responsible for sustaining our academic programs, members of the Board of Visitors, members of the University Senate of the Alumni Association of the Student Government Association, and the American Association of University Professors.

Will these colleagues please rise so that we may show our appreciation for their leadership? I would also like to thank the faculty at this ceremony who are acting as faculty and student marshals.

We thank you for your service, but now for the special part. Please join me now as we thank those who have especially made possible the achievement of today's graduates. First, with the mothers and fathers of our graduates, please

stand and remain standing. Now the grandparents, the great grandparents and the grandchildren of our graduates please stand and remain standing.

Will the spouses and sons and daughters of the graduates please also rise and remain standing. And not the least, the aunts, the uncles, the friends and all others who've helped make this day possible and who are here to

share in their very special students accomplishments. Thank you. You may all be seated before the most important important part of the ceremony begins.

I have an announcement concerning photographs. A professional photographer will take pictures of your favorite graduate as he or she crosses the stage. Photo opportunities for family and friends will be available

later so that you may find your particular graduate in the procession. Graduates will come forward alphabetically by their departments within their college.

If you could limit your applause and shouts for your star out of respect for the graduate immediately following also a star, it would be deeply appreciated. I expect you to obey me just like the faculty, but if you

don't, I have the authority of Presidential party. Provost Deborah Leather will join me for the conferring of the degrees. Assisting us in awarding degrees will be Deans Jin Gong, Dennis

Hinkle, Albert Avery and Howard Nixon. Mr. President, on the recommendation of the faculty, I have the honor to present those students who will meet all requirements for

the degrees of Masters of Art, Master of Arts and Teaching, Master of Fine Arts, Master of Education, Master of Music, or Master of Science. I am pleased to receive these candidates for graduate degrees.

You have shown your determination to develop your talents and sharpen your skills. Yours is now the responsibility to apply these capabilities in the service of humanity.

By the authority vested in me by the Board of Regents in the State of Maryland, I now confer upon you the earned degree with all the responsibilities, honors, rights and privileges thereunto pertaining congratulations.

Will the Master's degree recipients please proceed to the stage? I am Doctor Lawrence Shirley, the associate Dean of the College of Graduate Education Research.

On my far right is Doctor Jin Gong, the Dean of the College. I would like to congratulate all of the students receiving degrees today, but especially those who are receiving graduate degrees.

Lucille Voder Brugan Anthony James Benashevitz, Magna cum laude. Mr. President, this concludes the graduates from the College of

Business and Economics. Congratulations and heartfelt best wishes to each of you. You are honored. You are past, you are our future.

We take great pride in you. Thank you. Will everyone please stand and join Teresa Bowser in the singing of the Alma Mater?

You will find the words on page 43 of our Commencement program. And our love so true. Sparkling in the morning brightness, rosy in the sunset light. Stately rising on the hilltop, ever our delight. This will be brief.

Doctor Jones, his party, the faculty and graduates will begin the recession. I would ask that members of the audience be seated until they have left the auditorium.

The graduates may then join their guest on the patio. Again, we offer our best wishes and congratulations to the class of 2002. The the, the the.
