(lively music) - [Announcer] Introducing the interim president of Michigan State University, Teresa K. Woodruff.

(audience applauding) - Good morning everyone, and thank you to Rodney Whitaker and the Beebop Spartans for jazzing us in today.

(audience applauding) Good morning and welcome to Fall 2022 Commencement Ceremony.

(audience applauding) Today we recognize and celebrate our graduating seniors from the residential college and the arts and humanities.

(audience applauding) From the College of Arts and Letters.

(audience applauding) From the Eli Broad College of Business.

(audience applauding) from our College of Education.

(audience applauding) From the James Madison College.

(audience applauding) From the College of Music.

(audience applauding) And from the College of Social Science.

(audience applauding) I am so pleased we can be here together in a place that has seen many Spartan triumphs to celebrate this milestone for our graduates and the university.

Today we recognize the excellence and determination exhibited by our graduates to arrive at this point and the contributions of all of you who supported them along their educational journeys.

My own sojourns across this lovely campus takes me by Beaumont Tower Rising, from the site of NSU's first instructional building.

College Hall is long gone, but its significance transcends this university, the first building in America to offer instruction in scientific agriculture.

So it is very appropriate that Beaumont Tower features a stone carving bearing the image of the sower, a pastoral figure casting seed.

Beyond paying homage to our agricultural roots, the allegorical sower symbolizes the virtue of investing today to reap tomorrow's harvest.

Together, we too have sewn the seeds of future bounty for our graduates and for a society very much in need of their knowledge, energy, and with each turning season, their growing wisdom.

So today we honor NSU's 167 year old mission of education, research, and outreach as we certify that these graduates are equipped to engage and thrive in a dynamic world.

Graduates, I want to tell you that as the proud daughter and granddaughter of teachers, as well as a lifelong educator, I have always most enjoyed my time spent with students and watching you transform into our next generation of problem solvers, creators and leaders.

Having met many of you and knowing firsthand the excellence of MSU'S programs, I have great confidence in the transformational capacity of each of you for your families, communities, and the world we share.

Today we are proud to honor each and every one of you and salute those earning academic distinction.

We celebrate diversity and the special unity of the Spartan family, represented by the flags of the native lands of our students, and by the banners heralding our colleges.

So to begin, let's all join together, guests, graduates, family, in singing one stanza of "The Star Spangled Banner," performed by the MSU Jazz Orchestra, the Bebop Spartans, under the direction of university distinguished professor Rodney Whitaker.

The singing will be led by Sarah Whitaker, a senior in music performance.

Upon conclusion of the singing, please remain standing for a moment of silence.

(band playing note) ♪ Oh, 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 ♪ (audience applauding) So as we observe this moment of of silence, graduates, I would like you to reflect on the opportunities for growth you've enjoyed at MSU and the relationships you've formed.

Please be seated.

Now I invite interim Provost Thomas Jeitschko to present this morning's candidate for an honorary degree.

- Good morning.

Dr. Lee-Salwen, please come forward.

Interim President Woodruff.

I have the honor to present Okhee Lee-Salwen for awarding of the honorary degree Doctor of Humanities.

(audience applauding) (audience applauding) - A respected scholar, education trailblazer and champion of equity and social justice, you dedicated your academic career to promoting STEM and language learning for all students, especially multilingual learners.

Your expertise and research policy and practice is widely praised internationally.

Born in South Korea after the Korean War, the seventh child of farmers, you honored your parents' conviction that education would give you opportunities.

After completing your master's degree, you pursued your doctoral degree at Michigan State University and worked at the Institute for Research on Teaching, which established a national agenda in teaching and teacher education.

You worked tirelessly to become a highly published and prolific researcher at the University of Miami and now New York University.

You provided leadership for writing contemporary science and language educational standards, and these national educational policies framed research and practice.

Your research team developed the science and integrated language curriculum used by elementary science teachers across the country.

The New York City Department of Education and the New York State Education Department adopted your research into policy and into practice.

Moreover, your current work integrates computational thinking with science and language to address pressing societal challenges using the case of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In recognition of your accomplishments and contributions, you are named to the National Academy of Education and received awards and recognitions from professional associations, including the American Association for the Advancement of Science, American Educational Research Association, and the National Science Teaching Association.

For your relentless pursuit of STEM, education research, policy and practice, and your dedication to equity and social justice, I am pleased to award you an honorary doctor of humanities from your alma mater, Michigan State University City.

(audience applauding) (indistinct) - Good morning, MSU graduating class of 2022.

Congratulations to you, your parents, family members, and friends.

It is a terrific honor to celebrate this day with you.

Thank you to Interim President Woodruff.

Thank you to interim provost Dr. Jeitschko, got it.

Okay.

(group chuckling) And then executive vice president Beuchamp, and then provost, (indistinct) Trustee Foster.

I got it right.

All right.

Today I'm speaking not only for myself, but also my late husband Michael Salwen as two MSU alumni.

Michael is here with me today, looking down upon his wife with pride.

As you close your chapter and embark on a new path, I would like to share four lessons from my life experiences as I have been called, both as a troublemaker and a trailblazer.

I think of my life in three phases.

My life in the Lee family, my life with Michael, and my life as Okhee.

The first phase lasted for 25 years in South Korea.

I was born five years after the Korean War and grew up in a remote village.

Now, that was not the South Korea you know from K-Pop or BTS.

(audience laughing) When I completed my master's degree, I was told that professorial positions were for men, not women.

Two options were available to me, the married path and become so-and-so's a wife, so-and-so's a mother, and so-and-so's grandmother, or the career path and become an old spinster.

(audience chuckling) So I created a third option, to pursue my doctoral degree in the United States.

To study in the US I would need a scholarship.

So I asked my father to delay any marriage arrangements for one year.

Then I struck a deal with him.

If I got a scholarship, I would pursue my doctoral degree in the US.

If I didn't get a scholarship, I would follow his wishes.

I think my father never dreamed that his daughter had a chance.

(audience chuckling) I took a risk and I won.

(audience applauding) Thank you.

MSU gave me three years of a guaranteed scholarship, and I am grateful to the university to take a chance on me, a trouble maker, who defied the Korean society's norm.

And so I left my family and I left my country, and I learned my first lesson.

Lesson number one, do it.

Don't ever leave yourself wondering what if?

The second phase of my life lasted 25 years, starting at MSU.

When I arrived in the US I was alone.

Just me, my dream and my luggage.

Sometime later I thought back on the Korean Air Flight and the PA announcement before we took off, and of course it came in Korean.

(Lee-Salwen speaking foreign language) Now it went on in Korean, and here is the English translation that many of you are familiar with.

"In the case of an emergency, "first put on your own oxygen mask, "then help your neighbor."

And I said, did I hear that right?

Put on my mask before helping my neighbor?.

So taking care of myself isn't selfish.

It is about being healthy and happy so that I can take care of others.

So here comes lesson number two.

Take care of yourself to take care of others.

And you have my permission.

I remember well the first day that I arrived on the MSU campus on August the second, 1984.

It's an honor that the Institute for Research on Teaching in the College of Education recruited me as a research intern.

Now, from the start, I lagged behind my peers who were born and educated here.

I spoke English, but I did not have the command of the language.

American culture baffled me and my family and friends were far away.

So I worked one extra hour every day.

Over the course of my career, the hours have added up 365 days a year for almost the 40 years.

And now you do the math.

So lesson number three, put in the work.

Soon after I arrived at MSU, I met Michael, who was a doctorate student in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences, and we lived on the same floor in Owen Hall.

Anyone who is living in Owen Hall?

After he took a faculty position at the University of Miami, we had a long distance relationship until we married.

Our small ceremony took place at the MSU Museum in front of a historic, or should I say a prehistoric witness, the allosaurus dinosaur.

(all laughing) It's real.

I visited the museum yesterday and took a photo after 38 years.

When I completed my doctoral study, I joined my husband at the University of Miami.

And for the next two year, two decades, my life revolved around research, teaching, and my husband and I was happy.

But my happiness ended when Michael died too young.

after battling several years with cancer.

Caring for him during his illness made me stronger, more resilient.

It also prepared me to become a trailblazer in education research, and policy.

Soon after his death, I put on his favorite record, Beethoven's Symphony No.

9, and it took me back to the concert when we attended New York Philharmonic on New Year's Eve many years before.

So as the music swelled, I realized that Beethoven left his great works behind for the rest of humanity.

Now, I am no Beethoven, but I wanted to leave something behind.

So lesson number four, make your mark on the world.

The third phase of my life begin in my early fifties.

It seems that it goes at 25 and 50 and hopefully 75 by the function of 25 years, when I joined the faculty at New York University.

So in my professional life, my research focuses on the role of language and culture in science and STEM education.

Now, when I first started my research, people would ask, "What do language and culture "have anything to do with learning science?

"Science is universal."

Decades later, my work paved the way for issues of equity, diversity and justice in science and STEM education.

But more broadly, I advocate for the improvements of the education system at the highest levels of policy, including the White House and the National Science Foundation.

In my personal life, I keep Michael at my side.

We didn't have children, so we decided to use our assets to create scholarships to help other people, the children, especially those who need a helping hand like me four decades ago.

My goal is to give back what I don't personally need.

Every bit of it.

I continue to try to make a difference and leave a legacy.

So the graduates, today, you leave MSU and you chart a new path.

Today, you rejoice the accomplishments of finishing your degree at a time of unprecedented challenges, and you have become more resilient for it, and you will continue to build your resilience.

So if you have something to prove, prove it to yourself first.

Create your own choices.

Take care of yourself to take care of others.

Adjust your own oxygen mask so that you can reach out to help your neighbor.

Work hard, make your mark on the wall, and live without any regrets of what if.

Congratulations on your commencement and accomplishment.

MSU graduating class of 2022.

Congratulations.

(all applauding) Thank you.

Thank you, and I'm acting like a celerity, but the last words that I wanted to say is be troublemakers, then be trailblazers Thank you.

(audience applauding) - Thank you so much.

- Thank you.

- Dr. Lee-Solwen, thank you for your words.

Thank you for your charge to all of us here today.

And as an honored Spartan alum, we were honored by your presence with us today.

Thank you very much.

(audience applauding) We now have the pleasure of hearing from the number one ranked jazz orchestra in the nation, the Bebop Spartans under the direction again of university distinguished Professor Rodney Whitaker.

The selection they've decided to provide to us today is "Can't Hide Love," composed by Clarence Alexander, Skip Scarborough, professor Whitaker.

- One, two, one two three four.

(jazzy music) (audience applauding) - Thank you so much Professor Whitaker and members of our jazz orchestra.

We're so proud of you and all your accomplishments.

The Honorable Melanie Foster of the MSU board of Trustees from East Lansing will address the graduates and guests.

After Trustee Foster, interim Provost Thomas Jeitschko will continue with our introductions.

- Good morning and thank you Interim President Woodruff.

On behalf of the Michigan State University Board of Trustees, I extend our welcome to graduates and your family and friends.

Under the Michigan Constitution, the board of trustees is the governing body of the university by whose authority the degrees are awarded.

As trustees, we see each commencement ceremony as a very memorable occasion, and we appreciate the opportunity to share this special time with you.

Today's ceremony represents the culmination of your academic achievement.

The degree that you have earned acknowledges your success, and it honors those who have encouraged and supported you.

Our wish is that you will use your intelligence and knowledge to improve the quality of life for your community and to advance the common good.

Our faculty, administrators and trustees are very proud of you.

Please let us add our congratulations.

(audience applauding) Thank you.

- Thank you, Trustee Foster.

I join you in congratulating our newest degree recipients.

Graduates, each of you embodies a unique confluence of knowledge.

These scholarly achievements culminate today in the conferral of degrees, along with the conferral of our great faith, our hope, and our pride in what you will do now with your next achievements.

Indeed, as we send you forth, we are counting on you to become the thought leaders, the innovators, and the doers of the 21st century.

Now it is my pleasure to introduce Darryl Ervin, an accounting major who was chosen by senior class council to represent the class of 2022.

(audience applauding) - All right, I need to get some water real quick, you know?

All right, we're good.

We're hydrated now, we're hydrated.

Go Green.

- Go White!

- Go Green.

- Go White!

- All right, greetings all, and welcome to Michigan State University's fall commencement ceremony.

My name is Darryl Ervin, and I'm truly blessed to serve as this year's class speaker.

I would like to first thank God who is the head of my life, my family, my friends, (friends cheering) my fraternity, if y'all are here, mentors and everyone else who supported me on this journey.

It truly takes a village.

Thank you interim President Woodruff, interim Provost Jeitschko, board of trustees, deans and faculty for your unwavering commitment to this university.

So I would like to take everyone in this room back to the winner of 2017 when I first came to this campus for a college tour.

The weather that day was similar to the weather today, too cold to walk around this entire campus for a tour.

I was here with my parents.

We walked past Beaumont Tower, we walked past Parton Stadium, and we walked past this amazing building that we're in right now, the Izzone.

We even grabbed the bite to eat at Brody, which my dad still to this day, mispronounces as Brody's.

(audience chuckling) It was on this day that I decided that I was going to be a Spartan, and little did I know that one decision would change my life and my family's legacy for generations to come.

I stand before you today, five years later, 22 years old.

I've traveled the world and I've been exposed to some incredible things.

My life was changed by participating in that MSU tour that winter, and now I am able to duplicate that impact on the youth of Detroit by organizing statewide and soon nationwide tours through my nonprofit SLS Detroit.

(audience applauding) Yes.

But you know, that's a lot of stuff, but truthfully, this has not been the easiest journey.

There have certainly been trials and obstacles that I've had to overcome.

I'm a first generation college student, a father.

Yeah.

(audience applauding) I'm a father to my lovely daughter, Faith, who's in the stands.

(audience applauding) Husband to my incredible wife, Marie, who is also in the stands.

(audience applauding) So the pressures of balancing my identities and my responsibilities led to some difficult days for me and my family, from writing papers in the middle of the night with my daughter laying in my arms because she didn't want to go to bed without me, to sacrificing study time in order to work so I could support my family.

These life situations were challenging, but they shaped me into who I am today.

They have helped me build character, endurance, and they've given me purpose.

Now, graduates... (audience applauding) I share this part of my story with you all to encourage you as we transition into what society calls the real world.

I encourage you all to have faith in your future.

Have faith that your next step is a step in the right direction.

Have faith that all of the hours that you put in put you in the seats that you are in today.

I want you all to remember this moment, not because you officially never have to submit another assignment to D2L, (audience laughing) but that this moment serves as evidence that you have the ability to overcome.

You see, life has a funny way of making us think that we cannot make it, or that one particular moment is just too tough for us to bear.

So I ask you fellow Spartans, when moments like these arise to never forget our beloved slogan, Spartans will.

(audience applauding) Now I'm gonna be honest with you all, my freshman year, I didn't necessarily know what that meant.

Like freshman year, me, Spartan's will was like, Spartan's will be late for that 8:00 AM class, or Spartan's will failed that math 103 exam horribly, horribly, math 103.

(chuckles) But as I've learned and I've grown, I've learned to appreciate this slogan because of its clever double entendre expressing will as both an external action and an internal conviction.

So I want to ask you all again, how big is your internal will?

How willing are you to discover what you are truly capable of?

How willing are you to leave this world better than you found it?

How willing are you to make your wildest dreams come to fruition?

You see, it's easy to say that we're willing to make our dreams come to pass, but do you believe it can happen?

Do you truly believe that you can have and do whatever your heart desires?

You see, I do.

Ancient Chinese philosopher Confucius once said, "He who says he can, "and he who says he can't are both usually right."

Understand that we can only go as far as our belief will take us.

So let's not just believe, Spartans, but let's believe big.

And as we navigate through life's hurdles, I ask that you never lose sight of what's most important: family, relationships, health, and your impact on the world.

That's where true success and fulfillment lie.

These values help you stay grounded and they put meaning, energy, and purpose behind everything you do.

I knew that this bachelor's degree would change my wife and my daughter's life.

That's why I persevered.

I knew that I was breaking a generational barrier in my family.

That's why I persevered.

I know that the students that I mentor back home in Detroit will see the benefits of this accomplishment too.

That's why I persevere.

And as I wrap up today, I wanna leave you with a scripture that I hope will encourage you.

Jeremiah, chapter 29, verse 11, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you.

"Plans to give you hope in a future."

Stay encouraged, stay great and go green.

Thank you.

(audience applauding) - Thank you Darryl.

The senior class council has worked tirelessly in support of the senior class gift campaign.

The presentation of the senior class gift will be made by Zachary Crawford and Jack Medi.

(audience applauding) - Good morning, fall class of 2022.

We hope that you're able to take the time that you need later today or in the future to not only soak in the joy of this major milestone that you just completed, but to get some time to relax.

I'm the Senior class Council President Jack Medi.

- And I am senior class council, public relations director, Zachary Crawford.

- On behalf of the senior class council from AMSU, the Associated Students of Michigan State University, congratulations on accomplishing something your younger self would be so proud of.

We hope that you can continue to have that drive, motivation and dedication throughout the rest of your life.

- As we prepare to leave Michigan State's campus and start a new chapter of our lives, the senior class council wanted to ensure that we focus our efforts on something that creates meaningful change, truly embodies Spartan will, and makes an impact on the lives of students.

Every year, the senior class council advocates for an organization on campus and encourages our fellow seniors to direct their class gift to that organization.

Well, you can support any cause that has deep personal meaning to you.

The senior class council has selected to focus our efforts on one.

- And there are a lot of great organizations that we had to decide from.

However, the class council has come to the decision to advocate for donations to MSU Safe Place.

The service addresses relationship violence and stalking by providing advocacy, shelter, counseling, support groups, safety planning and information and referrals to survivors of violence.

The service not only supports students, but faculty, staff, their partners and children that are minors.

Working to advocate for students across campus, the senior class council will continue to work with AMSU to make Michigan State University a better and safer university for all.

- And with this in mind, we are proud to present this award and this check to President Woodruff and Michigan State University.

We are thankful for those that have donated to the senior class campaign and encourage those that have not to do so soon.

- And lastly, our work as advocates of change only continues as we walk across the stage and into the bigger world or the real world.

And as we go forward, it is up to every single one of us to stand together and to be the change that we wanna see in this world.

When we do this, we can ensure a better future for generations to come.

It's up to us to create an environment of empathy, support, and validation of others and their lived experiences because when no one else will, Spartans will.

Thank you.

Go Green.

(audience applauding) - Thank you.

Bravo, that's great.

Take a picture over here, this way.

- Thank you Zachary and Jack.

I really appreciate the inspiration and the action.

Wonderful.

Yeah, this is really speaks volumes to who you are.

I'd like to now take a moment to acknowledge our outstanding faculty and academic staff who are here to celebrate with our graduates.

We're honored to welcome a number of the university's leaders also who are seated on the platform, but will not be speaking today.

(students cheering) And Lily Aldridge.

(students cheering) (audience applauding) (audio cutting) (students cheering) (all chattering) (indistinct) (students cheering) - Graduates, please all rise.

(students cheering) You are now MSU alums.

(students cheering) (audience applauding) You may be seated.

A great university and a world-class education are the result of combined efforts of many dedicated people.

As Dr. Jeitschko mentioned, the contributions of our MSU faculty have been essential to your achievements, and our faculty and academic staff are a source of great pride to us.

I ask that our faculty and academic staff rise and accept our gratitude for your contributions.

(audience applauding) And now will the family and friends who have contributed their love and support and a little money, please rise and accept our appreciation.

(audience applauding) (students cheering) Thank you.

Graduates, you join a long line of proud Spartans who have contributed much to our society.

You join people like Dr. Lee-Salwen who have made a difference to so many, and from imminent botanist William J. Beal and his ongoing 1897 seed experiment here on campus to the MSU seed study that just returned to earth from space.

A legacy of discovery and service is yours to carry on.

This now is my charge to each of you.

Graduates, you have grown deeply in the rich environment of this university community and reached high to gather the fruits of your scholarship.

I think it is appropriate to share the quote of MSU'S 12th President John Hannah at the spring of 1949's commencement when he told graduates to always remember that Michigan State College stands as a great memorial to great ideas fostered by a great system of democratic government.

As a living mechanism for service to the people of Michigan, this nation and the world, it has great exciting tasks to perform.

He continued as a part of that living mechanism forever.

You will have reason to become increasingly proud of your alma mater and mine.

The difficulties of this day will be overcome and she will go on to help you to greater and more glorious things.

You all now join a global group of more than a half a million degreed Spartan alums.

I hope you find ways to enjoy associations with other Spartans and maintain contact with this network as well as coming back and visiting us as often as possible.

So in the great tradition of this university, I also encourage you to use each and every day your opportunity to apply your education to the service of others to make this, our world, a better place.

And I wish you all a purposefully fulfilling life building on your experiences at Michigan State University.

Go Green!

- [Students] Go White!

(audience applauding) And now I ask all of you to stand and we will ask these alums to sing the first stanza of their now alma mater, "MSU Shadows," and following the singing we'll ask the guests to remain seated as our platform party recesses.

Professor.
