GRADUATIONS 2009

Positive aura is focus of Salve’s commencement

Posted

NEWPORT — A chilly, rainy and overcast spring day could not cloud the exuberance of more than 3,000 people at Salve Regina University's 59th commencement on Sunday.

Rays of positivity shined in the hearts of the more than 600 graduates, parents, keynote speaker Senior U.S. Circuit Judge Bruce M. Selya and school President Mercy Sister M. Therese Antone on the scenic campus, which sits by the Cliff Walk in the City by the Sea.

Selya did not dwell on the current dreary economic forecast in his speech, and reminded graduates of the social values-based educational foundation at Salve Regina has long provided to its students.

Judge Selya sprinkled his address to the graduates with humor, enthusiasm for Salve Regina and advice for the graduates.

"It is a bit of a generational anomaly that I had been asked to be the commencement speaker — an old buzzard intruding into the bright plumages of youth," said Selya.

He mentioned how impressed he has been with the growth of the university and leadership of Sister Antone.

"Salve Regina has been transmogrified from an obscure college to a distinguished multidisciplinary university. Sister Therese Antone has been transformational leader for this university," said Judge Selya.

"I am convinced if she was secretary of the Treasury today the Dow would still be at 14,000," he said.

Sister Antone has been Salve's president since 1994. She will become university chancellor on July 1. During the commencement, she was awarded Salve's highest honor, the Regina Medal.

Sister Antone told the graduates they are "loved" by everyone at Salve, and urged them to "carry the mission of Salve Regina University and strive to lead a life of integrity." Salve's president told the graduates that there is more to life than a "dream job" and not to get wrapped up in the modern-world's trappings.

"Leisure has become cluttered with constant entertainment and unlimited distractions created by the latest technology," she told those gathered.

Meanwhile, Judge Selya emphasized how pleased he was with a sense of camaraderie on the Newport campus, and listed "five stars to steer by" to achieve success.

He told the graduates to "set goals high with social consciousness and be passionate about your work. Be aware and know people with whom you work and compete. Learn how to handle disappointment and to finally find joy in life."

Selya received a round of applause when he said he was proud to be a member of the Class of 2009 with his acceptance of an honorary doctorate of humane letters.

He paid a visit with students on the campus in April so he could "catch up on what he had missed."

"The most stunning event freshman year was the visit of the Dalai Lama and the most stunning event of senior year was the appearance on campus for pre-season training of Boston Celtics," he remarked.

The renowned federal judge drew more laughs when he said, "And when I now think of Salve Regina I have this vision of the Dalai Lama and Kevin Garnett."

Meanwhile, Sister Antone urged the graduates to maintain Salve's Catholic values and think with their minds and hearts and use the spiritual guidance of prayer.

"Create your Sabbath time and reflect on your life, your relationship with God and your relationships with others," she urged.

Selya said he often doesn't accept speaking engagements, because he doesn't relish the limelight.

However, he said "this is a special occasion and there is no way I could refuse to speak. She made it a point to me that this would be her last commencement.

"Sister Therese is a natural-born leader. She is very intelligent and a remarkable leader. When Sister Therese speaks, people are well-advised to listen," said Selya.

The judge said that he shares similar values about social justice with Salve Regina and the university's respected leader.

Judge Selya is of the Jewish faith and attends Temple Beth El on Providence's East Side. "I wish you godspeed as you launch your voyage into the future," he told the graduates.

Sister Antone closed her final commencement address as president by telling the graduates to maintain "service to others, compassion, forgiveness" and to have "love and care for society."

The university conferred 682 academic degrees, including 480 bachelor's degrees, 168 master's degrees, 27 certificates of advanced graduate studies and seven doctorates of philosophy.
