Guzman, administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration and a member of President Joe Biden\u2019s Cabinet, will address graduates of the University of La&nbsp;Verne\u2019s College of Business and Public Management during its virtual commencement on May 29.<\/p>\n<p>Ambassador Anwarul K. Chowdhury, California Court of Appeal Associate Justice Richard T. Fields, and University of Hong Kong Dean and Professor A. Lin Goodwin will also speak to the university\u2019s spring 2021 graduates.<\/p>\n<p>The university will confer degrees on approximately 1,300 graduates. Each of the university\u2019s four colleges will hold a virtual ceremony on May 29 broadcast online to its graduates, their families, and friends.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are looking forward to celebrating the spring class of 2021 safe at home, but with the honor and recognition that they so absolutely deserve,\u201d said President Devorah Lieberman, who will preside over all four ceremonies.<\/p>\n<p>Guzman was sworn in as the 27th administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration on March 17. She has spent her career advising entrepreneurs, launching ventures, helping small businesses navigate government, and creating policies and programs to help advance entrepreneurship and innovation. Most recently, she served as the director of the California Office of the Small Business Advocate, where she helped small businesses and innovative startups in the world\u2019s fifth largest economy. In addition, she served as the economic recovery support function coordinator for the state, where she spearheaded the small business recovery effort during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Chowdhury will address graduates of the College of Arts and Sciences. He has a wealth of experience in critical issues of our time: the culture of peace, sustainable development, women\u2019s equality, global citizenship, and human rights. He served as Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Bangladesh to the United Nations from 1996 to 2001 and as the first Under-Secretary-General and High Representative of the United Nations, responsible for the most vulnerable countries of the world from 2002 to 2007.

He served as the presiding judge of the entire Riverside County Court system from 2007 to 2008. Prior to his appointment as a judge of the Superior Court, Fields served as a court commissioner for more than nine years. When selected as a court commissioner in 1991, Fields became the first African-American jurist in the history of Riverside County. In April 2000, Justice Fields became the first African-American judge in Riverside County.<\/p>\n<p>Goodwin, speaker for the LaFetra College of Education, was vice dean at Teachers College, Columbia University, and the Evenden Foundation Professor of Education before assuming her role as dean and professor of education at the University of Hong Kong. Goodwin was also vice president of the American Educational Research Association (AERA) and the inaugural Dr. Ruth Wong Professor of Teacher Education at the National Institute of Education in Singapore. In 2015, Goodwin was honored as a distinguished scholar by AERA\u2019s Special Interest Group: Research on the Education of Asian and Pacific Americans.
