Hello everyone and thank you for
celebrating our 2020 graduates
in Humboldt State University's virtual
commencement ceremony. My name is
Dr. Dale Oliver and I'm Dean of the College
of Natural Resources & Sciences.
I am pleased to be the first within the
ceremony to offer congratulations to our
graduates and to their families and
friends. Graduates I am so impressed with
your determination and resilience to
complete a rigorous program of study
undeterred by the very real challenges
of this past academic year. I and your
faculty are proud of your individual
accomplishments and of your
incredible collective potential for good in the world.
Your class includes well-prepared
socially and environmentally responsible
astronomers, biologists, biochemists,
botanists, chemists, computer scientists,
environmental scientists and managers,
environmental engineers, geologists,
foresters, fishery biologists, marine
biologists, mathematicians,
math and science educators, oceanographers, physicists, rangeland and soil scientists,
wildlife biologists, and zoologists. Wow! It
has been our honor to work with you in
HSU's College of Natural Resources &
Sciences. Now please stand for the
National Anthem which will be sung by
students Shelby Crawford, Dulce Feinstein,
Helen Kimber, Riley Makela, and Caitlin
Pyle. It is customary for men to remove their hats.
 
 
Good day to each of you. Congratulations.
Congratulations on achieving one of the
greatest milestones one could achieve,
the earning of a college degree. As a
college graduate you now join the most
educated 7% across the world who have
earned such a distinction. You heard me
correctly, the most educated 7% of all
people on this earth. You also join a
very proud and distinguished family of
alumni located throughout the world. Well
done. I have participated in four
commencements as a college student and
dozens of others as an educator. Each is
emotional and uplifting in their own way.
None have been virtual—until now. All
have been deeply deeply emotional,
especially this one. The spirit of
accomplishment is still there. The
heartfelt joy and pride of a family
member is still there, and brings a tear
to my eye. The ribbing of a sibling
may still be there. Even even the
acknowledgment of dear friends, many made
while here at Humboldt, is still there.
While the hugs and smiles from your
friends and faculty may be missing in
person, they are still there virtually.
We are all very proud of you in what you
have been able to accomplish. To the parents
and grandparents thank you.
Thank you for entrusting Humboldt with
your beloved family member. Your trust in
higher education and your genuine
optimism about your child's abilities to
succeed led to this moment.
Humboldt will forever be different
because of the individual contributions
your child has made to this University
We also believe your child will forever
be different and better because of
Humboldt. Graduates, this world places
different expectations on those who have
earned a college degree. As you continue
your journey, inspire us. As a Humboldt
graduate, inspire us with your selfless
commitment to others. Help raise others
up through your work, your volunteerism,
and your commitment to family. As a Humboldt graduate, be innovative. Be innovative
through your trying, through your
learning, through hearing different ideas
and through engaging others. And lastly,
as a Humboldt graduate, imagine. Imagine
a bright future. Imagine a world that is
safe. Imagine world that is confident.
Imagine a world that is filled with hope
and free from ailments and disease.
Imagine a time when all people live in
harmony, then do your part as a
Humboldt graduate to help us get there. 
It is now time when you can choose to join
me in saying the Humboldt State
University Graduation Pledge.
This tradition, started by students in 1987,
will live on face to face or at a
virtual commencement. It starts, and let's
quote, I pledge to explore and take into
account the social and environmental
consequences of any job I consider and
will try to improve these aspects of any
organizations for which I work.
As a Humboldt graduate, you represent the
absolute best this university has to offer.
Please smile and enjoy this
special moment. And as you think about
all your memories over the past few
years, I ask you to never, ever,
ever forget your alma mater, 
Humboldt State University.
An amazing place with special people.
Again, congratulations.
Hello everyone and thank you for joining us today.
My name is Dr. Lisa Bond-Maupin
and I'm the Provost and Vice President
of Academic Affairs. Congratulations to
all of our graduates. We are so proud of you
and so happy for you, and know what
this day means to you and everyone
who loves you and has been in your 
corner with you. Congratulations.
Each year students are nominated by
faculty and staff to be recognized for
achievement in academics, community
service, or leadership. Two were selected
as the Outstanding Students of the year
for their overall excellence in
academics and community service.
Psychology major Doug Cherry has reached
a level of involvement in the field of
psychology that's rare for an
undergraduate student. As HSU student
council representative for the
Western Psychological Association, he advocates 
for students at the yearly council meeting.
He's demonstrated academic
leadership as a graduate assistant for
the Psychology Department and within
academic clubs and organizations.
He's active in the community and volunteers
for the Boys and Girls Club and local
school districts. Child Development and
Native American Studies major
Ellen Colegrove, a member of the Hupa
Valley Tribe, has spent four years
balancing academics and cultural
responsibilities with community service
Recognized for academic excellence as a
Udall scholar, she's actively involved in
numerous organizations and projects to
support the campus and local
Native American communities. For instance, she's a student leader and mentor at the
HSU Indian Tribal & Educational
Personnel Program, and works with at-risk
children for Two Feathers 
Native American Family Services.
She also served as a mentor and
leader of the Ka’m-t’em Youth
Photography Project, which was dedicated to 
teaching youth the process of transferring
generational knowledge through an image.
Congratulations to Doug and Ellen for
your outstanding achievement. Students at
Humboldt State University who satisfy
the curricular programs established by
the faculty, qualify for the appropriate
bachelor's degree or master's degree. We
will now present the bachelors degree candidates.
My name is Amy Sprowles, Chair of Biological
