“A New Horizon Not A Punishment” -TU Baccalaureate Speaker Tells Graduands

By: Henry N. Kolenky

MONROVIA: Just hours to commence its convocation, the baccalaureate speaker for the 10th graduating class of the William V. S. Tubman University, Rev. Dr. Richard Francis Wilson has delivered an inspirational sermon in which he urged the prospective graduates to see their achievement as “a new horizon and not a punishment” just as the convocation takes place today in Harper City, Maryland County.

Speaking at the baccalaureate service at the Tubman Pavilion on the main campus of the William V. S. Tubman University in Harper City, Maryland County, Rev. Dr. Wilson narrated that the academic accomplishment of the more than three hundred graduands from the six colleges of the University with different disciplines is rather a new horizon.

Rev. Dr. Professor Wilson likened the Graduands to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, saying what they are struggling to achieve is like a sunrise from the east and sunset to the west. The tenth baccalaureate orator also disclosed that mankind is to always live above the horizon, indicating that as the sun rises from the east and sets to the west so is human life.

The renowned cleric cautioned the graduands not to allow their enemies to find their weaknesses that would enable their opponents to track them down, and added that by the time the sun sets on today when the convocation will be held, the prospective graduates will achieve their horizons.

Eden, he said, was not a place of perfection; in Eden he said judgment, forgiveness, and the struggle of humanity was pronounced and accepted.

He furthered that the William VS Tubman University was a home of good and bad like the Garden of Eden, noting that “Leaving from the Garden of Eden is not driving people away, so as leaving from TU is not driving them away but leads to broad, bright, fruitful and greater grace of hope.

Making a special remark at the program, Tubman University President, Rev. Dr. Professor Olu Q. Menjay said the distance between laughing and crying is very narrow.

Dr. Menjay appreciated the faculty, staff, and administrators of the University for their tireless-efforts in making sure that the dream of the institution is achieved.

“I inherited you, I will never bring you drunk” Menjay told the students. He assured the University populace that he is committed to working collaboratively with them to make TU second to none.
