ceremony i'm dr paul savory and i have the honor of serving as the provost of colorado state university global as i stand before you in my academic regalia let me offer some context for it the custom of wearing distinctive dress for academic ceremonies goes back to the 12th and 13th centuries when colleges were first taken form most of the scholars in those early institutions belong to religious orders and their hats robes and hoods identifying them as belonging to a particular group academic dress as we know it today has been more or less fixed for the past 300 years in the united states every detail has been standardized by the american council of education the types length and sometimes the color of gown varies by the degree level and the various trim colors and hoods represent different disciplines specialties and colors of the degree granting institution as we honor our graduates today for their hard work and success we also honor the values and traditions that academia stands for through the use of academic regalia centuries of preparing people to lead lives of significance today's commencement is a momentous day it symbolizes a new beginning for each of our graduates and also prepares an opportunity to reflect on one's unique journey more than classes papers projects and starbucks coffee behind each of our graduates is a support network consisting of parents grandparents children spouses and friends thank you to each of you for the support and encouragement that you have provided your graduate graduates on behalf of the faculty i congratulate you on your success and the recognition you'll receive today thank you for allowing csu global to support you in your journey and we wish you professional and personal success thank you for those kind words dr savory i would now like to introduce you to our student speaker just last year this individual participated in a csu global commencement ceremony as she earned her bachelor's degree in criminal justice now today she's reached another milestone and has earned her master's degree in information technology management what an accomplishment now joining us today from amsterdam other part of the world please welcome your winter 2021 virtual commencement student speaker deirdre yonker greetings csu global president pamela tony faculty and staff my fellow graduates our families and friends i'm so pleased to be here with you today and i'm honored to have been chosen to address you today first i want to congratulate my fellow graduates i am so proud of you for achieving your goals five years ago i was quite nervous about making the leap from earning an associate at a community college to entering a state university i was not sure how or i would fit in but i always keep the mindset and that we never know what the future holds so despite being nervous i enrolled at a csu global and pursued my education first with a bachelor's degree in criminal justice and today a masters in information technology management as i reflect back at the beginning of this journey i can't help but wonder where i would be if i had chosen another path would i be working at another job that wasn't fulfilling what i have discovered to overcome the challenges that life is presented doubtful but what i do know is that i'm grateful to csu global for guiding and supporting me along the way i will miss being a student at this institution which has felt more like an extended family than just a school if i could give some advice today it would be to take on those challenges presented to you those are what give you the opportunity to grow just like the old saying goes life is just a journey not a destination so don't miss out on what could be an incredible opportunity also never give up on yourself whatever success you find will fuel your future and finally you are not alone in this journey while we may recite across states and even countries for example i'm addressing you today from amsterdam we are all in this together i'll offer one last piece of advice that's helped me think of a goal you hope to achieve you don't have to share it with anyone just keep it in mind to remind yourself of it regularly whatever that goal is another degree a promotion or a new job just go for it someday you might be the inspirational story that helps someone overcome their obstacles and achieve their goals class of 2021 i wish you all the best in your future endeavors and to all the friends and family members watching today thank you so much for supporting your graduate through their journey i'm so proud of you all thank you and again congratulations thank you deirdre for your inspirational words as you mentioned the graduates we celebrate today surmounted many obstacles in

now please join me in welcoming redmond ramos congratulations everyone i am so excited to be here today before i begin i want to give a huge thank you to your president pamela tony and everyone in the csu global commencement committee for giving me the opportunity to speak to you all today today's the day i can you believe it today is the day today's your day the day that you have all been working so hard for today your hard work has paid off and the world gets to see how great you really are and knowing that today is your day i had to ask myself what can i tell you what could i possibly tell you that you don't already know you've all been through a lot already many of you have worked overtime at your jobs while working overtime at csu global many of you have raised children at the same time as raising your grades so what could i tell you that you haven't heard already you have proven that you know the importance of an education and today you reap the benefits of what can be achieved through hard work and determination so i decided to give you advice on something that i know very well i want to tell you how to live like you almost died i want to tell you how to live as if it's your second chance at life when i was 22 years old i was cursed with a serious case of one day i will itis one day i will eat healthier and work out one day i'll learn to surf one day i'll get a degree one day i'll learn to play the guitar one day i'll compete and track one day i'll start being nicer to my family one day i'll pursue a career in law enforcement then suddenly and out of the blue i learned a very hard life lesson i stepped on an ied an improvised explosive device a bomb i felt the horrible damage to my body i felt the bones shatter in my foot upon impact i felt my body turn ice cold and i felt shivers go up and down my spine i thought i was going to die and i realized in that instant one day may never come i realized one day was not certain the only thing that's certain is now the only thing that's certain is the present we've all heard stories of people seeing their life flash before their eyes when they face death it's not exactly what happened to me on the day i thought i may die it wasn't the life that i had lived that flash before my eyes it was the life that i had not lived it was the life that i wish i had lived it was all the things i wanted to do all the hobbies that i didn't do because i was busy chasing dreams that weren't mine all the inventions i thought about making the books i wanted to write the degree i really wanted to pursue all the people i could have helped along the way all the states i hadn't visited all the countries i hadn't seen all the cultures i hadn't experienced seeing the life that i had not lived flashed before my eyes helped me see how boring i had become as my marines treated me everything moved in slow motion i laid on the ground watching my marines save my life i thought about how little i felt i had accomplished in my life at that point i also realized how lucky i was i had a second chance at life a second chance to do anything and everything i ever wanted to do i was just given a gift and i swore on that day i would say yes to any opportunity that passed by me i swore i would never squander that second life that i was just given i swore i would never be boring again in case you ever find yourself on a path that does not excite you here are my three rules to help you stop being boring and start living the life that you were meant to live rule number one create laughter when i showed up to the hospital in california to receive my amputation i was sent to this wonderful but terrifying hospital this physical therapy facility this is a room that was filled with about 40 combat injured amputees being treated at any given time a room filled with seemingly broken people but if you spent more than a minute in that room you would quickly realize this is not a place for pity this was a place for growth that room was very intimidating for a newly injured warfighter like myself but not in the way you might think i i didn't pity the marines in there i looked up to them they were my heroes my idols it was intimidating seeing all of these marines who happened to be missing legs or missing arms had scars everywhere but still working out harder than i'd ever seen anyone work out before sweating in their shirts that said stuff like i had a blast in afghanistan or combat injured marine some assembly required there may have been pain in that room but there was no sadness there was laughter there was fun and it was intentional a conscious decision made to lift up ourselves and everyone around us each and every day and as a result there were amazing results in progress that would not have occurred otherwise see that group had learned that if you want to stop being boring you have to create laughter especially in the tough times rule number two find the opportunity in every obstacle every single time we're faced with an obstacle we are presented with an opportunity to succeed and grow when i stepped on that ied my obstacles were pretty clear they were physical so when the doctors told me my obstacle when the doctors told me redmond you will never be able to run again if you keep your leg all i heard was that i was going to run again all i heard was an opportunity an opportunity to push through the hard times to push through the pain and live life my way every single obstacle has a hidden opportunity for me an obstacle of dealing with an amputation led to an opportunity to try out for the navy track team which led to an opportunity to compete for team usa at the invictus games in london which led to an opportunity to compete on a tv show called triumph games which led to an opportunity to compete on the tv show the amazing race where i was blessed with a chance to run around and explore the world which of course led to a hundred different obstacles and with them a hundred different opportunities to live a fun and meaningful life this isn't easy work finding opportunities and challenges can be really hard to do especially when you're struggling but when you train your brain to think that way eventually you will become unstoppable you will become even more successful than you already are so if you want to stop being boring find the opportunity in every obstacle and lastly rule number three don't be afraid to fail in fact you should fail at something every day seriously every single day you should go out and look for a chance to fail at something new plan a fail at something new or exciting as often as possible because failing at something means that you are willing to dare greatly and when you live your life this way you are going to fail and that's all right that's part of the fun it's not an if it's not a maybe it's when it's how often it's how many times am i going to fail this is hard work it's much easier to use failure as an excuse to give up to stop pursuing your dream because of tough surroundings or because of a lack of support to give in when you feel that you have tried giving it every single thing that you've got only to be disappointed by the results time and time again but if there's one thing that my life has taught me it's that we can recycle that pain we can get something from it we could use that pain to propel ourselves towards something greater a willingness to fail will lead to fun and exciting stories each and every day if you want to stop being boring don't be afraid to fail ladies and gentlemen graduates sounds good to say doesn't it graduates life is short so live it your way you only get one life don't you dare make it boring today's not just a day to celebrate all that you have done today is a day to celebrate all that you will do i am so proud of each and every one of you congratulations to you all and i am excited to see how much you all positive positively impact the world thank you very much thank you redmond for reminding us to laugh no matter what life hands us to look for the opportunities in every challenge and for giving us permission to fail as we dare greatly you are an inspiration to us all and before we get to the conferral of the degrees we want to share this short message from the csu system chancellor dr tony frank on behalf of the entire colorado state university system congratulations graduates you've accomplished something truly meaningful and important and we are all proud to celebrate with you as you move forward to the next stage of your life career and education of course this year's graduation isn't what any of us expected as much as any other class in our lifetimes you graduate into an uncertain time but even though this past year may be particularly memorable what time isn't uncertain and when haven't you faced uncertainty and moved ahead no one models that sort of determination and commitment better than our csu global graduates you took a non-traditional path the path of perseverance the path that was right for you because of your background experience and goals you saw an opportunity that others didn't see and you took it and held yourself accountable to that commitment and attained your goal in that knowledge you can find certainty and direction in any uncertainty that you face when the path isn't clear you'll clear your own path and keep moving forward you're the graduates our world needs right now and we could not be more honored than we are today to recognize all that you have achieved you leave here with a better future ahead a sense of accomplishment and our pride in you as well as our deepest congratulations to the class of 2021. thank you dr frank for that insightful message csu

really enjoyed it it's been a long time coming that's for sure so i actually started in 2017 had to take a break for a couple years after having my second little one it's a huge accomplishment i'm super excited and i can't believe it's over honestly i am 52 years old i finished my undergrad degree in september of this year um i'm excited to finish my degree and plan on attending um back at csu global in january to go for my master's in the same program the few people that really helped me complete the program and i get a little emotional because they're here it was my daughter my ten-year-old daughter she was just like this little person that was really understanding and sweet that's my husband my husband has been my number one supporter for sure and then dr miller i'd say those were the my two uh the two rocks in the in the time here we are the actual hidden heroes yes many bath times of children were covered i was just really impressed with how the experience and the support of some of the professors i work with that really helped me early on in the program i had a professor that was really really fun there were a few of them that were so kind so nice and so encouraging and that meant a lot to me because there were time that i'm like i'm through i can't do this anymore and um one of the teachers when i first started i'm like i'm not into this right now i'm just gonna stop and he said no don't stop he said keep on you know he's just going to get easier he's here and so um that was very encouraging to me when i first enrolled i was kind of like i don't i had no idea what it was to take an online class but then it was i remember the first course i was like oh my god i did good i found the classes pretty interesting all the classes have been really helpful and you know my favorites i just love the material i just really liked the program and so i i was very happy here i kind of got eager like i want to you know i want to apply what i learned i just really appreciate everything like everything that i've gotten to learn through this program it's been really awesome and it's helped me get an internship in project management at the company i currently work at csu has helped me to push fast at that one major milestone you know that you know started to unlock other milestones that you know at the age of 18 you sit back and like oh that's that's impossible that's that's i can't imagine like you know applying for an mba program you know and and you know fast forward to now it's like holy cow yeah here it is like i i've done it
