Chancellor Syverud Addresses Graduates at Commencement Ceremony (Video)

Syracuse University Chancellor and President Kent Syverud had words of praise—and  pride—for the graduates during the University’s Commencement ceremony on May 12.

“Each of you graduating today got here because of your own hard work. Each of you got here by overcoming adversity. A global pandemic and so many other challenges made your time here unique,” the Chancellor told the graduates. “But you persevered, you displayed incredible grit and grace. Of course you did. You are Orange.”

The Chancellor conferred 6,727 degrees at the ceremony.
