UNIVERSITY OF M O N T E VA L L O
SPRING COMMENCEMENT May 7, 2016
A NOTE TO THE PARENTS AND FRIENDS OF THE SPRING CLASS OF 2016 . . . Commencement ceremonies are milestones in the life of a university and in the lives of its extended family members. While in the narrowest sense each graduate is celebrating the mastery of a defined curriculum of intellectual skills and content, we know that the meaning of this commencement celebration will be much broader and deeper than that. Lifelong friendships have been made. Priceless memories will be cherished. New opportunities are within grasp, some of which seemed like mere fantasies just a few short years ago. Excitement is in the air! For those of us who serve as faculty, staff, alumni, trustees, or friends of the University of Montevallo, these commencement ceremonies are a reminder that it is a good thing to include time in our busy schedules to celebrate important achievements and to reflect upon the challenges of tomorrow. Perhaps the greatest gift of a liberal arts education is its power to guide us to wiser decisions during and after those moments of reflection. On behalf of all of us who comprise the Montevallo “family,” it is my pleasure to welcome you to Alabama’s public liberal arts university.
We proudly present the May graduating Class of 2016.
John W. Stewart III University President

*NATIONAL ANTHEM Star Spangled Banner
Francis Scott Key Led by Ms. Caitlyn Reynolds ’16
O say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro’ the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof thro’ the night that our flag was still there. O say, does that star spangled banner yet wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
