Kansas City’s university welcomed more than 800 graduates and their families at T-Mobile Center for the 2022 Mid-Year Commencement Ceremony Sunday.
威尼斯人娱乐城教务长兼执行副校长Jenny Lundgren博士主持了此次活动。
“We are delighted to be here today at the beautiful T-Mobile Center to continue our new tradition of celebrating our graduates at iconic Kansas City locations,” said Lundgren. 
威尼斯人娱乐城校长Mauli Agrawal提醒毕业生要有毅力。 阿格拉瓦尔说，毕业生们经历了恐怖袭击、战争、经济困难和全球流行病等无数具有挑战性的事件，他们已经表明自己能够应对任何挑战。
“You have acquired the knowledge, confidence and skills you’ll need to navigate an ever-shifting landscape,” said Agrawal. “More challenges surely await you, but I know, and you know that you are up those challenges.”
Two-time Emmy Award winner, 威尼斯人娱乐城 alumnus and announcer for the Washington Nationals baseball team Bob Carpenter (B.A. ’75) gave the keynote address. 卡彭特告诉毕业生们要预料到意外，因为事情并不总是按计划进行。 但他强调，即使在逆境中，态度也决定一切。
“I hope as we go along, wherever you go in your career or in your life, that you have a spirit of gratitude,” said Carpenter.
卡彭特还建议毕业生们保持积极的心态，并与他人分享自己的成功。
“Don’t ever leave out a word of encouragement for those who you are working with, or those who you are working for,” said Carpenter. “When you achieve success, stop and think, ‘What did I do to get here, how do I stay here and who helped me get here?’ Then take that success and use it to help somebody else.”
活动结束后，毕业生们与他们的亲人拥抱、合影并庆祝他们的成就。
