From the front steps of the Cedric Rucker University Center to the Lee Hall terrace and around the rim of Ball Circle, proud family and friends cheered their hearts out Saturday morning for the University of Mary Washington\u2019s 2024 graduates.<\/p>\n

Nearly 1,000 students from UMW\u2019s Colleges of Arts and Sciences, Business, and Education received bachelor\u2019s and master\u2019s degrees at the University\u2019s 113th commencement ceremony on Saturday, May 11. Puffy clouds dotted a bright blue, sun-filled sky as the ceremony unfolded all morning long.<\/p>\n

The culminating moment of years\u2019 worth of work was \u201cexciting\u201d and \u201cawesome,\u201d said Veronica Namulondo, who left home in Uganda to earn an MBA at Mary Washington.<\/p>\n

Tayin Drea Rivera-Dorazio, a transfer student from Richmond, Virginia, predicted the emotional impact of earning a degree in communication and digital studies would come to him in waves throughout the day.<\/p>\n

Taylor Johnson, a first-generation college student whose grandparents immigrated to the U.S. from the Caribbean, studied art history. \u201cI\u2019m just so grateful I got the opportunity and followed through,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Biomedical sciences major Cidney Collins wore a rainbow of cords signifying academic success, service, leadership, study abroad and other collegiate accomplishments. \u201cUMW became my home and my lifelong friends. Even the professors here became my friends,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m definitely going to miss Mary Washington.\u201d<\/p>\n

The University awarded 443 Bachelor of Science degrees, 322 Bachelor of Arts degrees, 30 Bachelor of Liberal Studies degrees, 39 Bachelor of Science in Nursing degrees and 46 Bachelor of Science in Education degrees. It also awarded four Master of Geospatial Analysis degrees, 50 Master of Business Administration degrees, 27 Master of Education degrees and 12 Master of Science in Elementary Education degrees.<\/p>\n

Members of the Class of 2024 also celebrated a unique four years. As the first class to arrive at UMW during the pandemic, many had missed experiencing in-person high school graduations.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet us make up for what was lost four years ago and make this an especially joyous and celebratory occasion you can remember for a lifetime,\u201d UMW President Troy D. Paino told the degree candidates. \u201cTake pride in what you have accomplished and use your Mary Washington foundation to help you lead a life of meaningful purpose.\u201d<\/p>\n

Class President Madison DeWitt, a biomedical sciences major, called the time she shared with her classmates an \u201cincredible adventure.\u201d Learning took place in classrooms, she said, but also across campus and beyond. \u201cThe greatest lesson I learned is that home is not just a place. I call Mary Washington home because of the people. For each of us, Mary Wash is a unique collection of friends, professors and memories that have framed our four years and created a home wherever we go.\u201d<\/p>\n

UMW alum Mark McClure \u201996, vice president of technical operations for Major League Soccer, delivered the keynote address, chronicling his career journey and how the lessons he learned at Mary Washington helped lead him to success. \u201cWhen it is your time to speak up and help solve the big problems, I know each of you will be ready,\u201d he told the soon-to-be grads. \u201cMary Washington has taught you to find creative, effective solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n

The three-hour ceremony was filled with plenty of pomp and circumstance, with the grand marshal carrying the official academic mace, the bagpipes of the Eagle Pipe Band and the singing of the alma mater. Graduates in blue gowns wore colorful collars and cords denoting academic merits, and mortarboards personalized to what matters to them.<\/p>\n

Board of Visitors Rector Devon W. Cushman \u201993 praised the graduating class for all they\u2019d achieved during their time at the University of Mary Washington \u2013 research, internships, volunteerism, travel, athletics and more.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are so proud of you, Class of 2024,\u201d she said. \u201cWe wish you all the best.\u201d<\/p>\n
