You took a \u2018someday\u2019 and made it into \u2018today.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Martinez was one of 1,067 graduates of spring 2020 and winter 2021 celebrated in the college\u2019s virtual commencement live-streamed on January 30. Keynote speaker for the occasion was alumnus Jarrod McNaughton, MBA \u201900, chief executive officer of Inland Empire Health Plan. In recognition of his distinguished career and leadership in the healthcare field and the community, the university awarded him the honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree.<\/p>\n<p>McNaughton focused his keynote address on the theme of resilience which, he said, \u201cmeans never giving up.\u201d The experiences of the past year have \u201cbent, compressed, and stretched\u201d the graduates. But, he said, \u201cYou overcame the odds. You crossed the finish line and are proving to the world, more than any other graduating class in history, that you have what it takes . . . to rise up in the face of adversity and hardship excited about what the new dawn will bring.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>University President Devorah Lieberman also spoke of resilience. She told the graduates that \u201cat this time, when our world is steeped in ambiguity and uncertainty, now is the time for all of us to embrace the optimism of our future\u2014a focus on hope, strength, and resilience.\u201d And she advised the newest members of the university\u2019s alumni, which number more than 85,000 around the world, \u201cno matter what, never, never, never give up. Never give up on your dreams.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The University of La&nbsp;Verne is comprised of four colleges: the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Business and Public Management, the College of Law, and the LaFetra College of Education and has a total enrollment of nearly 7,000 students.<\/p>\n<div id=\"gallery-desc\" class=\"sr-only\">Gallery of Images<\/div>\n<div role=\"complementary\"
