The <a href=\"https:\/\/laverne.edu\/news\/2021\/02\/03\/graduates-university-of-la-verne-virtual-commencement\/\">virtual ceremony live-streamed on January 30<\/a> came just two days after the passing of Anthony LaFetra, for whom the college is named.<\/p>\n<p>Devorah Lieberman, the university\u2019s 18<sup>th<\/sup> president, told the classes, \u201cYou are well-equipped to thrive as University of La&nbsp;Verne graduates, joining over 80,000 alumni. You will continue to be our greatest treasures. The university will forever be an extension of your home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The keynote speaker, Ana Guerrero, is chief of staff to Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti. She shared some of her life story with the graduates, noting that she is an immigrant and has lived in poverty. \u201cLike so many of you, I went back to school as an adult learner, while working to support my family,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd like all of you, I chased a dream that defines who we are: making a living by making a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Guerrero then passed along five pieces of advice. \u201cFirst, I hope you will prepare your students to be scholars and leaders. Think about your best teachers\u2014they didn\u2019t simply rely on textbooks and theory to help you learn. They taught you the skills to navigate the world with strength and confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Guerrero continued, \u201cSecond, I hope you will create what educators call a \u2018community of conscience\u2019 in the classroom, one where students\u2019 experiences, opinions, and ideas and ideas are valued and respected by you and their peers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Next, \u201cbe activist educators,\u201d Guerrero advised. \u201cUse your voice and your vision to question and break down injustice and inequality. Use the full weight of your ideas and creativity to propose ideas for changing our systems and showing better ways forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fourth, \u201cnever stop listening and never stop learning,\u201d said Guerrero. \u201cBegin each day by asking yourself, \u2018What will I teach today?\u2019 and end each day by asking yourself, \u2018What did I learn today?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And finally, said Guerrero, \u201cdon\u2019t forget to take care of yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In recognition of her career of service, the university awarded Guerrero an honorary doctor of humane letters degree during the ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>Student speaker Brian Train has combined studies in child development and child life to prepare for a career as a clinical certified child life specialist. Train noted that he had a career he enjoyed, \u201cbut something was calling me to do so much more.\u201d He found that calling at the University of La&nbsp;Verne in the Master of Science in Child Life program.<\/p>\n<p>Train acknowledged that \u201cgood things take time to develop,\u201d and there can be obstacles along the way. He advised his fellow graduates to \u201chonor your personal story and trust in your individual journey.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t think you can,\u201d Train concluded. \u201cKnow you can.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"gallery-desc\" class=\"sr-only\">Gallery of Images<\/div>\n<div role=\"complementary\" id=\"gallery-1\" class=\"gallery galleryid-11488 gallery-columns-4
