Commencement 2022
|
|
More than 1,350 students graduated from Regis on May 7 at the Leader Bank Pavilion in Boston with degrees ranging from doctoral to associate. The 92nd commencement ceremony included graduates from the Boston Public Schools partnership and online students from 44 states.
Donato J. Tramuto, renowned health care and social justice activist, philanthropist, and author delivered the commencement address and asked graduates to know their personal and professional why. “Graduates, your lives will not be about doing one great thing, rather it will be about doing many little things that have the capacity to drive great change. It is important to not only uncover your professional why, you must uncover your personal why. Nobody cares what you do until they know why you do it.”
The university also bestowed honorary degrees on Geeta Aiyer, president and founder of Boston Common Asset Management, and John J. Tegan, Jr., former Regis College Board of Trustees chairman and founder and chairman of Communications Technology Services, LLC. Read more.
