Commencement at DCU: Worcester State graduates commended for 'resilience'

WORCESTER — The alumni rolls of Worcester State University increased by more than 900 Saturday, with the school handing out diplomas during a commencement ceremony at the DCU Center.

It was the school's 148th class.

"Together, we are stronger," student speaker Alexander Martell told the audience of graduates and their families. Martell, a U.S. Marine, spoke in Spanish and English.

The main speaker was Adrianne Haslet, a survivor of the Boston Marathon bombing.

“What will get you to the finish line is nothing compared to what got you to the start,” she said. “So often we stand at the beginning of something and think of the monumental task ahead, forgetting all the steps we’ve already taken to get there in the first place.”

College President Barry Maloney, in his speech, also talked of resilience, referencing the students' pandemic-impacted tenures.

The ceremony recognized 940 graduates.

“Resilience. It’s a quality not often associated with this generation yet each and every student earning a degree today has shown it,” he said.
