2Wayne State University 2021 Commencement
WAYNE STATE UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT M. ROY WILSONDear graduate,
Congratulations! Graduating from Wayne State University is a remarkable achievement, so take time to celebrate all the hard work and sacrifice it took to get here. This year’s graduation looks different than it has in other years, but your accomplishments are in no way diminished because of it. We look forward to hosting an in-person celebration for you in the spring of 2022, when it is safe to do so.
As you arrive at this milestone, I’m confident your time at Wayne State has prepared you to reach many more. You’ve shown, through your flexibility and grace during difficult and unanticipated challenges, that you are well equipped to succeed in an ever-changing and diverse world. You’ll certainly benefit from your many hours of study, and also the opportunities you’ve had to engage with the world outside the classroom from our campus in Detroit. This gives you a distinct advantage.
Yet the richest reward of your time here at Wayne State may be the wisdom you’ve gained that has made you a productive, compassionate and thoughtful citizen, committed to making a difference in your community.
Wayne State demanded your best because we wanted you to reach your full potential as a student. Today, we ask for one more thing: Keep in touch. Stay engaged with the university, and help a new generation access the transformative opportunities you have had here.
We trust that your experience at Wayne State University has kindled a lifelong passion for learning. So instead of goodbye, I’ll say, “Until we meet again.” Now, more than ever, it’s important for us to remain Warrior Strong. Best wishes to you and to the entire class of 2021.
Sincerely,
M. Roy Wilson President

RECOGNITION for ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTStudents who attain high scholastic achievement are denoted by an asterisk after their name. The official list of graduates cited for cum laude (*), magna cum laude (**) or summa cum laude (***) will be compiled subsequently and their diplomas will carry the appropriate notation. This practice is observed at the undergraduate level only.
Students who have achieved distinction by completing the requirements for department and/or university honors are designated in the program book by (DH) for department honors and/or (UH) for university honors. Their diplomas acknowledge these scholastic achievements. Students graduating with honors conferred by departments, schools and colleges, and by the Irvin D. Reid Honors College are eligible to wear a gold collar in recognition of their achievements.
John Corvino, Ph.D., is dean of the Irvin D. Reid Honors College.
GRADUATE NAMESNames submitted for the program book were compiled by lists submitted by graduate applications. There will be no program reprints to accommodate incorrect spelling or missing names. Due to publication deadlines, names and honor designations of students who applied for graduation after March 12, 2021, will not appear in the program book.
The appearance of a name, recognition for academic achievement, and department and/or university honors on the following lists is presumptive, but not conclusive of graduation. Participation in the commencement ceremony does not constitute graduation. Academic records will show the graduation date and recognition for academic achievement when degrees have been certified. Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of this program’s content. Any omissions or errors are unintentional.
“HYMN to WAYNE” To thee, our Alma Mater, Homage we bring. Brave hearts raise grateful voices Thy praise to sing. Young art thou, young and strong; Renowned shalt thou live, and long; Honors to thee will throng- And Fame to thee cling. We laud thee, Alma Mater, Guardian of Right. Thou art our guide, our mentor- Thy name shines bright. Keep Learning’s light aflame, And hold Truth a sacred name, Honor, thy steadfast aim. All hail to thy might.
Nicholas Stanley Oates, 1929

The WAYNE STATE UNIVERSITY BOARD of GOVERNORSThe Governors of Wayne State University and their successors in office constitute a body corporate known as the Board of Governors of Wayne State University, in accordance with the Constitution of the State of Michigan. The board consists of eight members elected by the people of Michigan for eight-year terms. Each governor holds office until completion of the term and a successor has been nominated and elected in statewide elections. All vacancies that occur within the eight-year terms are filled through appointment by the governor of the state. Members of the board serve without compensation but are entitled to necessary expenses incurred in connection with the duties of their office.
The Board of Governors elects the president of the university, and has general supervision of Wayne State University and the control and directions of all expenditures from university funds. It enacts bylaws and regulations for the
conduct of its business and for the governance of the university. It sets tuition and policy for other fees and charges; determines the compensation to be paid for services; confers degrees; sets the policy for management of gifts, grants, bequests, agreements and contracts; and leases or disposes of property.
Michigan’s constitutional system of independent, elected boards to govern its universities is different from systems of most other states. It has helped Michigan to develop and preserve one of the nation’s finest systems of colleges and universities. Each governing board devotes itself to one university and is able to work carefully to develop and nurture the excellence of that institution. The constitutional independence of the boards protects the universities from political interference; the election of boards by the voters assures that universities remain responsible to the public at large.

Congratulations!On behalf of the Wayne State University Alumni Association, congratulations on your graduation!

My heartfelt congratulations to the Green and Gold,
Frank Jeney, ’05, ‘15President, WSU Alumni Association Board of Directors
internship working for the football team, cutting game film for the coaches to use in preparation for competition week in and week out. Although I constantly disagreed with the amount of time Michael spent completing this particular project, he never disappointed. After a long Saturday double header playing for the baseball team (as a catcher to add) Michael would borrow my keys to the athletics facility so he could work, sometimes through the night, to get the head football coach his film for Sunday review. This would allow Michael to compete in the Sunday double header for the baseball team. Although he would show fatigue, he still played as hard as he could. This gave Michael the chance to learn that he could in fact be stretched too thin, and that he sometimes would have to choose where best to focus his energy.
In my eyes, the Rhodes scholarship opportunity would be one that would take Michael many steps further in his development as an individual, as a teammate, and as a man. Michael has taken every opportunity that has presented itself to him, some he even created, and flourished. It is now time for Michael to see what he can do when placed among the best in the world. His ability to create something out of nothing, his attention to detail, his willingness to fail until he succeeds, and respect for the process are all great attributes that will allow Michael to learn when given the opportunity to be placed in company with some of the top students, and mentors our world has to offer. I can assure you that Michael will have a positive impact on each individual he comes into contact with in his lifetime. It is for this reason I strongly recommend Michael for all awards and accolades that he deserves to receive.
It has been without a doubt a pleasure to speak on my relationship with Michael. I would certainly not take anything away from the Rhodes scholarship, and what this opportunity will mean for Michael-Anthony Ferrato. However, I would like to clarify that as an individual in this world, I am undeniably excited to see the opportunity our world will have, when a person like Michael-Anthony Ferrato is able to reach his potential, and contribute the profound impact he is capable of.
With absolute respect
Frank Jeney
