Saturday was also a day for celebrating a milestone as UM-Dearborn graduated its 50,000th graduate. “UM-Dearborn has prepared students who are making a difference and having an impact in the community, nation and world for 56 years. As we celebrate today’s milestone, we celebrate all of our outstanding graduates.”- Chancellor Daniel Little said.
Michigan Supreme Court Justice Richard Bernstein addressed graduates during the ceremony and he told graduates that life experiences—good and bad—will come to define them.
"For it is through the struggle and the challenge and the difficulty that you will come to do what is hard, but achieve what is great,” Bernstein said. “We must celebrate the idea there will always be chapters—chapters of pain, struggle and difficulty. But it is only through those chapters that you can find the chapters of hope, the chapters of joy and the chapters of ultimate triumph. So today, let us celebrate.”
The College of Education, Health and Human Services celebrates indeed its graduates and feels proud of them. Congratulations to you and your families. Well done!
