I am so grateful to be a part of the 2020 graduating class despite ending in an unexpected way. Thank you to everyone who has influenced my life during the last four years! Professors, family, and friends - I could not have made it this far without the endless cooperation, support, laughs, and memories.

I am grateful for educators who not only create opportunities for students to gain experience sharing their passions within a community, but also give detailed feedback to encourage growth and reflection. Thanks to Kelly Sultzbach and Richard Frost, I was inspired to engage students in critical discussions of sustainability and eco-centric empathy. Thanks to Dr. Jesse and Ms. Feldkamp at Logan HS, I have practice engaging students and feedback to reflect on. Lastly, to all my students, I miss you. I feel so lucky to have been your student teacher. Thanks for learning and growing with me. <3

Thank you UWL for the best four years of my life. I’d like to thank my professors in the Political Science and Criminal Justice programs for everything that they have taught me. These professors truly care about the success of their students, and do everything they can to help us succeed. To my friends, I am thankful for the four years we had together and the memories that were made. One of my favorites things about UWL is that not a day went by where I didn’t see one of you around campus. I look forward to hopefully celebrating with you all in the near future!

Cedric Carpenter
The last five years of my undergraduate career have been anything but easy. The news cycle grew darker, assignments tougher, and my social life more complex. Throughout the last half-decade there were many times where I was unmoored at the randomness and strife adulthood brings. And yet, with the help of others, I am here. Numerous UWL professors taught me to engage the world with curiosity and hope, not fear and confusion. A fascinating journey awaits, and it must be met with courage. To those who helped me see this: thank you. To future students: face the day with everything you've got.

I wish I had more than 600 words to describe my experience at UWL. I would also like to say that the music department deserves a concert hall. Without the CFA and the SEMB, I wouldn't have had as great of a college experience as I did. Though I'm not in the music department, I have many fond memories and great friends from there. I would also like to shout out Dr. Kruse, Dr. Delgado, Dr. Driscoll and the whole Sociology department for being exceptional! I have learned so much from these professors, they're amazing! I am so lucky to have had this opportunity and privilege to be here. Peace out!

I loved learning from my professors at UWL and discovering interesting topics through lectures. I enjoyed meeting new friends freshman year and studying abroad sophomore year in Granada, Spain. For my last two years, I have spent more time exploring La Crosse and its beautiful surroundings. This last year I had an internship at a high school for my TESOL minor.

Communication Studies double major: Interpersonal Communication emphasis. I am so thankful to all of my family and friends who have supported me throughout the past four years at UW-La Crosse. From a year studying abroad in Peru to countless other memories made right in my hometown, I couldn't be more thankful for the experience. Many thanks to my advisors and professors at UWL as well. The genuine care and support that you provide to students is second to none. I will always cherish the memories made and will always be proud to say that I am University of Wisconsin-La Crosse graduate.

Throughout my time at UWL, I existed within two worlds; one was filled with stories I told on stage. I relived childlike naivety through the character of Fern Arable and fought villains amidst the backdrop of fair Verona. My second world was one I lived in offstage, filled with characters slightly less eccentric but nonetheless integral parts of my undergraduate career. My parents filled this world with possibility, encouraging me to be whomever I wanted. As I venture into another world to write my own story, I want to thank them for letting me explore my potential freely; I love you always.

College is a funny place. You come here thinking that it's going to be this huge change. The simple truth of it is college is that it is one big test. It doesn't change who you are but helps to fail and learn and grow. The most important thing I can tell people going in is focus on the present, if I can get a degree in four years so can you. There will always be time to worry about tomorrow but remember tonight wont stick around. Don't fear failure, embrace it. Learn as much about yourself as your major. Marketing is what inspired me, find what inspires you and run with it.

I first want to thank my parents. They have helped me immensely throughout my 5 years at UWL. Without them I would have never been able to switch majors and follow my heart when it came to this decision. Second, I would like to thank my amazing girlfriend I met thanks to this incredible University. She is my rock. Third, thank you to all my professors for always being understanding and there when I needed them. Lastly, thanks to all my friends I met while attending this campus, it truly was an adventure!

In the past three years, I have learned a lot and have grown a lot at UWL. I am very grateful to all the professors, family, friends, and host family who have helped me. I am also grateful to myself who have been studying hard for the past three years. I am proud of such a persevering and hard-working self. What I gained in UWL is not only professional knowledge but also spiritual growth. I am very happy to be who I am now. This is just the end of one journey, and I still have many new journeys in the days to come. May I be young forever and tears forever. I can reach no matter how far away.

5 Years. 5 years of long nights in Murphy Library, scraped knees from rollerblading La Crosse, and belly-aches from laughs with friends at all hours of the day. UWL, although not the first university I attended, was one that met me with unparalleled staff support, lifelong friends, and the ability to see my parents every Sunday for dinner. With the help and guidance from these people and my favorite sailor, I am able to stand, well technically sit, here today proud of what I’ve accomplished, confident in my abilities, and excited to take on the world of education. THANK YOU.
