Mount Wachusett Community College held its 56th Annual Commencement Ceremony in a virtual livestream on Wednesday, May 19, 2021.

鈥淲hile I am unable to shake your hand as you cross the stage, understand that what we are celebrating today is just as special and just as impactful as any other ceremony. It is a celebration of you,鈥� President James Vander Hooven told graduates in his address.

鈥淭o commence means to go forth, to begin anew. And while commencement is an end of a chapter, it is the introduction to a new chapter of opportunity and optimism. It is a celebration of what you are now capable of doing in your future, and capable you are,鈥� Vander Hoven continued. 鈥淭hink about the obstacles that you have had to overcome to get here. You have risen above all of them to achieve academic and personal success. When you encounter obstacles throughout your life, and you will, you will need to think back to this moment and understand your ability. It is much, much, greater than you might feel at any given moment. I congratulate you on your success.鈥�

The 2021 Student Speaker was Vanessa Hill. Hill, a native of Puerto Rico is a mother of five. After a 19-year hiatus from education to raise her family, Hill is graduating with her Associates Degree in Human Services. She will be attending Fitchburg State University to pursue her Bachelor鈥檚 in Human Services.

鈥淭his may not be a traditional way to give a speech, it is certainly not going to stop me from reminding you all how resilient, strong, and how well deserving you are of this day,鈥� Hill told fellow students. 鈥淎s a Student Trustee, I learned of the struggles some students have, of the challenges we have all faced along the way – having to work full or part-time, needing daycare, transportation, or experiencing an illness. These challenges have made us stronger and have allowed us to grow. I am so proud of the Class of 2021. This is just the beginning. Enjoy this, enjoy life. Spend everyday thinking and acting on how we can make this world better, not just for us, but for future generations.鈥�

Keynote speaker, retired Senator and namesake of the Brewer Center for Civic Learning & Community Engagement, Stephen M. Brewer, congratulated students for earning their degrees through the darkest year of the global pandemic. 鈥淭o the members of the Class of 2021, welcome and congratulations. You did it. You got the degree you set out for. You did it in the most unique circumstance in memory. Be proud that your determination, your patience and your belief in a better tomorrow have brought you here.鈥�
鈥淥ur time is limited, so don鈥檛 waste it,鈥� Brewer continued. 鈥淒on鈥檛 let the noise of other people鈥檚 opinions drown out your own inner voice. Make a friend with someone who doesn鈥檛 look or think like you. You might just change the world.鈥�
