Local residents graduate from Saint Michael’s College, hear ocean explorer Sylvia Earle as speaker

COLCHESTER, VT (06/09/2014)(readMedia)– The following local residents graduated from Saint Michael’s College during the 107th commencement exercises held on the college campus May 11th:

Kevin Dante Holloman, son of Christopher Holloman of Waterford, with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting and Business Administration.

Nicholas Rieger Kennedy, son of Amy and Michael Kennedy of Groton, with a Bachelor of Arts, cum laude in History and Secondary Education.

Alexa Rae Long, daughter of Jesse and Jill Long of Waterford, with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and Anthropology.

Tyler Zachary Wild, son of Clay and Laura Wild of Quaker Hill, with a Bachelor of Arts, cum laude in Pre-Architecture and Economics.

The Commencement speaker was internationally known deep-sea explorer and oceans champion Sylvia Earle, who ultimately struck an optimistic note in her message to 2014 graduates about their power to offer hope and take actions that might preserve our planet for future generations.

The National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence and world-renowned oceanographer, explorer, author and lecturer, nicknamed “Her Deepness” by the New Yorker and New York Times, addressed an audience of nearly 4,500 including 438 undergraduates (169 bachelor of science, 269 bachelor of arts), 41 master’s students (11 master of arts in clinical psychology, 19 master’s in education, one master of science in administration, 10 master of arts in teaching English to speakers of other languages) along with families, friends, faculty and staff. Degree recipients from last August and December also attended, bringing the total number of participating undergraduates to about 480.

Earle noted how appropriate it was on Mother’s Day to honor “the mother of all mothers – Mother Earth,” or perhaps even “Mother Ocean,” since that’s where 95 percent of the world’s life-giving water is. Earle suggested “we’re in a time like never before and never again” for making policies that might, in the true spirit of Saint Michael’s, takes others into account — even if they are the others of the future. Saint Michael the Archangel, she playfully reminded the audience, “was an action figure” representing the victory of good over evil — a good role model in a life-or-death struggle like the survival of the planet that is our only small shared home in such a vast universe.

“What are the reasons for hope? There is no greater reason for hope than this Class of 2014,” she concluded to cheers.
