Local students graduate from Baldwin Wallace University

BEREA, OH — The following local college students graduated from Baldwin Wallace University in Berea, Ohio in May:

Joshua Coleman of Bucyrus has graduated with a Master of Arts in Education: Mild/Moderate Educational Needs.

Christin Light of Bucyrus, a graduate of Wynford High School, has graduated with a Bachelor of Music Education: Music Education.

Baldwin Wallace University recognized the achievements of more than 640 graduates at BW’s 166th Commencement ceremony in May. Before taking a triumphant walk across the stage to receive congratulations, members of the BW Class of 2016 were inspired by the words of Vice Admiral Peter Neffenger ‘77, the former Vice Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard, who was tapped by President Obama last year to head up the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).

Neffenger credited BW professors for helping him to “lose the me and join the we.” He challenged the assembled graduates to think beyond career path and to consider the “hard challenges” and “messy business” facing society. “The world needs people who ask and tackle hard questions, who think creatively, and who solve problems that resist formulaic or easy approaches,” he said. “You are not now, nor will you ever be, your job description-that is simply a gate pass.”

Baldwin Wallace University, founded in 1845, was one of the first colleges to admit students without regard to race or gender. An independent, coeducational university of 4,000 students, BW offers coursework in the liberal arts tradition in 75 academic areas. Located in Berea, 12 miles from downtown Cleveland, BW offers students the cultural, educational and business advantages of a major metropolitan area.
