Chavez is co-founder and executive director of the Dolores Huerta Foundation. In that capacity, she oversees leadership and community organizing training for residents in low-income communities so they can help bring about change.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to celebrate our differences and achievements and learn to live, work, and play collaboratively, not competitively,\u201d she told the graduates. Following Chavez\u2019s comments, President Lieberman announced that the university is awarding to her mother, Dolores Huerta, the honorary degree Doctor of Humane Letters.<\/p>\n<p>Graduate student speaker Caroline Le is one of the first 22 students to earn the university\u2019s new Master of Science in Physician Assistant Practice degree. \u201cToday we are facing the worst pandemic in more than a century,\u201d she said. \u201cBut if we were able to finish our degrees through all this; virtual classrooms, hours in front of a screen, lockdowns, curfews, long days wearing masks or PPE, illnesses, and so many unforeseen hardships, then I believe we can endure and succeed at anything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Le noted that she and her classmates \u201cafter being on the healthcare front lines treating patients this past year reaffirmed our Physician Assistant Professional Oath, taking a pledge to serve as PAs with honesty and dedication.\u201d She encouraged her fellow graduates in the college to \u201cbe an advocate for others when no one else will.\u201d And, she said, \u201ccontinue to be curious, creative, and innovative to break barriers and lead by example.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Madeline Ruiz, the undergraduate student speaker, served as president of the Associated Students of the University of La&nbsp;Verne in 2019-20. \u201cThough it may appear that I completed my degree in three and a half years, this degree was actually earned through generations of sacrifice,\u201d she remarked. \u201cIt was the sacrifices of family members who came before me to give me the opportunity to be in this position today.\u201d She noted the words of \u201cmy wise, immigrant mom: \u2018Your education is one of the only things that can never be taken away from you.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The College of Arts and Sciences virtual commencement was one of four ceremonies held on January 30 to celebrate the 2,337 University of La&nbsp;Verne graduates from spring 2020 and winter 2021. The university includes the College of Business and Public Management, the LaFetra College of Education, and the College of Law in addition to the College of Arts and Sciences. The new graduates join more than 85,000 University of La&nbsp;Verne alumni around the world.<\/p>\n<div id=\"gallery-desc\" class=\"sr-only\">Gallery of Images<\/div>\n<div role=\"complementary\"
