Thank you for joining us. [applauding] Dr. Koubek: We have a tradition here at Michigan Tech of having one of our students address the fellow graduates. This year's speaker came to Michigan Tech from Shelby Township, Michigan, and will graduate today with a Bachelor of Science in Business Management. He has been one of our Resident Assistants for 4 years, 2 as a Senior RA and assisted fellow students as an Academic Success Coach.

During his first year as an RA, he was recognized with the Exceptional Enthusiasm as a Student Leader Award, and also received a regional award for Residential Community of the Month. In the College of Business, our speaker made the Dean's List every semester and participated in the Advanced Project Management competition and Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program. Outside of classes, he's been involved in the Pavlis Honors College, Mitch's Misfits, the Society of African American Men, and the Sexual Assault and Violence Education club. He's also been an active volunteer: with the Equipment Loan Closet of the Keweenaw, Little Brothers, Friends of the Elderly, Friends of Michigan Tech Library, and Copper Country Humane Society. After graduation, he'll begin a position as an Associate Business Analyst for Auto-Owners Insurance Company, and it is my pleasure to present to you our 2023 student commencement speaker, Anderson Piercey.

[applauding] Anderson Piercey: Greetings, family, friends, and fellow graduates of Michigan Technological University. We have gathered here today to celebrate passing the threshold from college student to college graduate. Over the past few years, we have grown in ways you could have never imagined.

We are no longer the timid freshmen hiding in the car after a 9-hour drive. Instead, we are inspiring adults, expertly equipped to navigate our professional fields, though blizzards have tried us and all-nighters have tested us. If becoming a Yooper was an exam, we've passed with flying flannel colors.

With our diplomas on the horizon, graduates, I want to remind you of the time you've spent growing in the Copper Country. From the first sweaty day of O-Week when your OTL demanded endless icebreakers to sitting in this hallowed arena, you have been taught several things. One, how to properly pronounce words like sauna and sisu. Two, how to spend 12 hours hacking at sculptures for snow to cover the details the next morning.

And three, how to be kind and compassionate Huskies. Personally, I think y'all would agree there's nothing better than having a Husky in your life. When our cars break down, we have dedicated Facebook groups to help our classmates get home to their families. When the Houghton community needs us, we volunteer through Make a Difference Day or other Service opportunities. And most importantly: when you are not okay, there are students and faculty alike who would gladly drop everything to help you get through it.

It's not required to be kind, but y'all do it with grace. You understand the importance of community and resilience. To be a Husky is more than to have #tenacity. It's to be kind with a passion, to make sure that every interaction you have leaves someone better than how you found them. It's to make a difference in your surroundings through compassion and empathy. It's also to celebrate when your community thrives, to hype up others' accomplishments as if they were your own.

A win for a fellow Husky is a win for all of us. In a few hours, you will become an Alum of Michigan Tech. That comes with an unspoken expectation: to continue being kind.

Best part about it is that it's easier done than said. Check in on your relatives and help your younger siblings with their math homework. When you look around in a few weeks and find yourself missing what Tech meant to you, remember that it was the community that you helped build and flourished in.

Not everyone is lucky enough to go to school here; you're lucky enough to have some great stories about it too. Going into your new place in the great, big world, don't be afraid to bring Tech with you. Hold the door open, say please and thank you, and tip your waiter. Invest a minute of your time every day and see how your community changes to welcome that breath of fresh air, brought straight from some of the cleanest air on Earth. Even if the change isn't immediately obvious, you'll notice the difference with enough time. There is a world waiting for Huskies like us to make it better.

Now, I have to give a little shout-out to the people who helped us get here. Friends and family, you've traveled so many hours to share our home with us for one last celebration. You've seen us cross bridges, borders, and parallels for pre-winter and winter semesters alike. You've watched our broomball games and helped us feel better after brutal chemistry exams. We're here because of your dedication.

Thank you for your endless support of your Huskies-- they are amazing friends and part of an unforgettable Tech Experience. Thank you, as well, to the incredible staff and faculty that have helped students foster their passions and find their callings. Your rigorous courses have challenged us and built us up with our foundational knowledge. You have given us research opportunities and extra credit, crucial letters of recommendation, and reference checks. You've fought for us as young professionals and spent countless office hours explaining intricate formulas.

All of you have helped contribute to so much to Michigan Tech's being one-of-a-kind university. Now, graduates, I'd like to give you one last assignment for your academic career. I know. Friends, family, and faculty, we'll need your help with this one.

There's no points attached, but you can complete this assignment as many times as you want. The assignment is: practice kindness. Cheer for every person who crosses today, even if you don't know them. This is your community, celebrating one of its latest achievements.

Let's make it loud. We have been kind because that's how we were raised. We are kind because we've been given the tools and passion to be. We will continue to be kind because of the people we've met and the friends we've made.

Graduates: you are loved because you bring love into the world, and no matter what, I am proud of you being here with me today. I feel so grateful that I get to call y'all my graduating class. Thank you, graduates of Michigan Tech.

Congratulations. [applauding] Dr. Koubek: Thank you, Anderson. Our commencement speaker today is Julie Fream, Class of 1983.

Julie graduated from Michigan Tech with a Bachelor's in Chemical Engineering and went on to earn her MBA at Harvard Business School. In 2013, she was named president and CEO of MEMA Original Equipment Suppliers, an association that represents automotive suppliers and champions their business interests. In this role, she represents the automotive supplier community on the Ford Supplier Council, the GM Supplier Council, and the Nissan North America Supplier Advisory Board.

Additionally, she is chair of the Corewell Health's Board of Directors. Corewell Health is a $14 billion enterprise with over 60,000 employees in Michigan. In both 2016 and '21, Julie was recognized by Crain's Detroit Business as one of Michigan's Most Influential Women. In 2015 and 2020, she was listed as one of the 100 Leading Women in the Automotive Industry by "Automotive News."

It is my honor to introduce our 2023 commencement speaker, Julie Fream. [applauding] Julie Fream: Thank you, President Koubek. It is such a great honor to be with all of you today. Thank you so much. I want to start out by recognizing, first, the board trustees, the staff and administration, parents, friends, but most important of all: graduates. Please give yourself a round of applause for all that you have done.

[applauding] Julie: Congratulations on your outstanding achievement. And Anderson, your words touched my heart. I'm actually teared up. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with us and making today special. And for all of you in the audience that perhaps are not alums, take those words to heart. They mean so much to all of us, not just our graduates.

So I am delighted to, once again, be standing on Michigan Tech's commencement stage. As an alumna of Michigan Tech, I am proud and grateful to be celebrating my 40th anniversary of my graduation. So much has changed in the years since then. So, today I have the distinct honor of sharing with you a few thoughts about my journey, just as you begin yours. My life journey has been one of surprise and adventure.

I am filled with gratitude for my many friends and business colleagues. I am especially grateful for my two grown children and my husband, Rob Lawrence, who is here with me today. Thank you, Rob, for being my rock as we continue our journey together. And looking back, I could not have predicted the various twists and turns of my own career. Other than attending and receiving my MBA, my career has been in the automotive industry. I have worked for vehicle manufacturers, for suppliers, and most recently, for a trade association representing automotive suppliers.

One of the important things these twists and turns has taught me is that success, in all aspects of life, requires collaboration and communication. You will always need to interact with and rely upon others. A group of people working together can accomplish so much more than one individual. I encourage each of you to foster both the personal and professional networks you have started here at Michigan Tech. Accompanying the need for communication is the important skill of adapting to change. And change, often unexpected, will be true in all aspects of your life.

Your ability to adapt and be flexible is the best and perhaps the only way to prepare for change. As a student of the past few years, you have had a front row seat to tremendous global change. Living in and through a worldwide pandemic taught you what it means to have your life change overnight. And part of what enables you to adapt to changes like this is your emotional intelligence, sometimes called EQ. EQ is that ability to understand, to use, and to manage your emotions in positive ways to relieve stress, to communicate effectively, and to empathize with others. And Emotional Intelligence, or EQ, is just as important as your IQ.

Each of you has spent much of your early life honing your IQ. As you continue your journey, make a conscious effort to work on your EQ also. My own career is an example of why emotional intelligence is so important. In my current role I interface with hundreds of people at events and activities. The ability to put myself in someone else's shoes-- to listen and respect their position even though I perhaps do not agree--is pivotal to my ongoing success.

And I know each of you is fully capable of shaping your personal journey in the way that makes the most sense for you. By undertaking and accomplishing the rigorous requirements of your degree here at Michigan Tech as well as embracing-- and mostly enjoying--the amazing Upper Peninsula winters, you have demonstrated that you have what it takes to succeed. So on this wonderful day, I have three suggestions for your life after graduation. I call them the 3 Gs: Gray, Goals, and Give. I'll start with the first one: Gray. Seems like a strange suggestion, until you know a bit more about what it means.

I want each of you to learn to live in the gray. Embrace ambiguity. In our fast-paced, ever-changing world, we tend to crave certainty and clarity in everything we do. We want to know what's going to happen next, and we want answers to our questions. However, a need or a demand for certainty limits your options and possibly even leads you astray.

It prevents you from seeing the world in all its complexity, from exploring new opportunities, and from appreciating the beauty and the richness of the unknown and the uncertain. To embrace ambiguity means getting comfortable with not always having clear answers. It means acknowledging the world is complicated and multifaceted, and not everything can be neatly categorized or easily explained. And it means being open to different perspectives and to the possibility that there may be more than one right answer to a question. Learning to live in the gray can be difficult.

It can be unsettling to not know what is going to happen next or to not have a clear answer. But I would argue that this discomfort is precisely what makes embracing ambiguity so important. As you grapple with uncertainty and complexity, you are forced to think critically and creatively. By questioning your assumptions, you may see things from a new perspective and find additional insights.

And here is something else I want each of you to know: Living in the gray can actually be liberating. It frees you from the constraints of black-or-white thinking. It lets you see the world in a more nuanced and empathetic way. It opens you to the diversity of human experience and helps you find beauty in unexpected places. My second suggestion for life after graduation is to write down your goals. Don't just think about them or talk about them with your friends.

Write. Them. Down. And the G, of course, for this one is easy: Goals. Writing down your goals clarifies your thinking and gets you very clear on what you want to achieve. It sharpens your focus and helps you identify the steps to take to get where you want to be. Writing down your goals increases your motivation.

It is a visual reminder of what you are working toward that increases your commitment and allows you to track your progress over time. You can measure how far you've come, celebrate your accomplishments, and even, if necessary, change tact. Early in our marriage, my husband and I wrote down our goals.

We determined the things we wanted to do and how we would prioritize our time, treasure, and talent. Some of our goals were simple, such as prioritizing travel with our children. As they were growing up, we've traveled with them to China, Australia, Europe, and other places. Some of our other goals were more complex, like ensuring that we saved appropriately for our retirement.

These goals have guided us for many years, and we have been able to achieve most of them. I firmly believe this is because we took the time to agree upon them and to write them down. I encourage each of you to set goals for your journey. And my third and final suggestion is to give something back, the G of course, being give. There are plenty of ways to do this.

Find a social or an environmental issue that you are passionate about, anything from reducing plastic waste to supporting education in your community. Give that issue your time, your talent, and perhaps maybe in a little while, even a little bit of your money. Or go big and identify a market need that is aligned with your values and passion and create a business that will have an impact. Having an impact is one of the key reasons I have spent the last 10 years leading an automotive association. I genuinely want to leave the automotive industry stronger and more diverse than I found it 40 years ago.

Another way I give back is by serving as the board chair of Corewell Health. Corewell Health is the parent organization of Beaumont Health in southeast Michigan, Spectrum Health in west Michigan, and Priority Health Insurance. And I do this work because I believe all people deserve accessible, simple, and affordable healthcare. By applying my own time, talent, and treasure to this organization, I have the ability to help make this vision a reality, giving back to my community in the process.

But giving back and making an impact also occurs in the simplest of gestures. For example, next time you are in the drive-thru getting your morning coffee, pay for the person's beverage that is behind you. You will instantly make someone else's day, and hopefully they will do the same for someone one day. You see, every person has the desire to be seen and to be heard. At every opportunity, strive to give the person in front of you your full attention. Let them know they matter and let them know they are appreciated.

People remember how you made them feel, and that is what creates a lasting impact. So, my fellow Huskies, as you sit here today with your network of friends, all of you just about to become alumni, I hope you take my words to heart. First, learn to live in the gray. Second, write down those goals. And third, remember to give back.

Or simply put: The 3 Gs: Gray, Goals, Give. And as I close, I remind you to enjoy the journey. Whether you know exactly what is next or you stand firmly in the gray, accept and cherish each step along the way. Be in the moment and be open to life as it unfolds. Thank you for the honor of speaking with you today.

And once again, congratulations. I wish each of you much joy and success. Thank you. [audience applauding] Dr. Koubek: Thank you, Julie. Yesterday afternoon the University celebrated the accomplishments of nearly 300 Master's and PhD students who earned their graduate degrees from Michigan Tech at a separate commencement ceremony. In honor of this occasion, the University finds it fitting to bestow an honorary doctoral degree on an alumni and friend who reflects great honor and prestige upon Michigan Tech.

The process begins with recommendations from an academic college, is reviewed by the University Honors and Awards Committee, and then approved by Michigan Tech Board of Trustees. This year's honoree was nominated by the College of Engineering. The Michigan Tech Board of Trustees unanimously voted to confer an honorary Doctor of Philosophy degree to Julie Fream. Julie, congratulations. [applauding] Dr. Koubek: I'd like to invite our Board Chair Littmann

to the podium to formally confer the degree. Jeffrey Littmann: Julie Fream, would you join me up here? Jeffrey: Congratulations. Julie: Thank you. Jeffrey: So we are pleased to recognize and honor your service to the University and to your profession. You epitomize the meaning of a Michigan Tech graduate and set a fine example for our students graduating today. Upon the recommendation of the Honor and Awards Committee, and by the authority vested in me, I hereby confer upon you the degree of honorary Doctor of Philosophy, with all the rights and privileges, as well as the obligations and responsibilities, thereto appertaining.

Congratulations. Julie: Thank you so much. [audience applauding] Jeffrey: And in witness whereof, we'll be presenting Julie with a hood. Dr. Koubek: Congratulations, Julie.

[audience applauding] Julie: Thank you so much, President Koubek, Board of Trustees, for this amazing honor. I really am humble and just--I am so honored by this recognition.

So I am so proud of this university, of the Husky family, and I am so proud to welcome all of you today to that Husky family.

So, thank you. [audience applauding] Dr. Koubek: Oh, good. Many of you excelled in your studies and are wearing honor cords in recognition of your accomplishments. Those of you wearing-- or graduating cum laude are wearing copper honor cords. Those of you graduating magna cum laude are wearing silver honor cords. And those of you graduating summa cum laude are wearing gold honor cords.

In addition, those of you graduating with honors from the Pavlis Honors College are wearing medallions. Each of you can be proud of having earned this honor. Would you just please stand so we can recognize you? Congratulations.

[audience applauding] Dr. Koubek: Congratulations, you can be seated. Many of our students are wearing additional cords and sashes, signifying their involvement in everything from athletics to study abroad to University and national student organizations. You may notice a few wearing red, white, and blue honor cords.

They are veterans of the armed forces, and we salute their service. If there are veterans with us today, graduating, would you please stand? [audience applauding] Dr. Koubek: Thank you. At this time, would the ROTC candidates please rise and come forward? Michigan Tech takes great pride in its officer training programs.
