Quote from LSSU President Dr. Rodney S. Hanley about the upcoming commencement: “Graduation serves as a culmination of the excellence in teaching and learning that distinguishes Lake Superior State University in the Eastern Upper Peninsula of Michigan, throughout the state, and beyond. Our graduates leave LSSU possessing the academic knowledge, practical skills, and inner strength to craft a life of meaningful employment and personal fulfillment while enhancing the quality of life of the Great Lakes region, the country, and the world. We salute their wide-ranging accomplishments across the disciplines—in fisheries and wildlife management, engineering, robotics engineering, nursing, criminal justice, business, fire science, and kinesiology, plus many other fields. We also congratulate their parents and families for helping our graduates complete an innovative, transformative education that equips them for professional careers or advanced schooling. As Lake State’s great friend Sen. Peters will discuss, LSSU’s newest graduates embody the best in the next generation of workforce readiness.”
