LSMSA holds Matriculation Ceremony for 55 students from the Gold Cohort

“You’re on a time traveling journey, albeit only in one direction,” said Associate Lecturer of History Dr. Kyle Stephens, who delivered the Keynote Address. “By being in this room [for the Matriculation Ceremony] you demonstrate your commitment, your boldness, and your bravery. The future belongs to you and the future is bright indeed. We’re so glad you’re here.”

 

Director of Academic Services Dr. Kristi Pope Key and Director of Enrollment and Student Services Emily Shumate offered words of wisdom to the students as they walked up onto the stage to receive their certificates. SGO Vice President Kait Berry and Senior Class President Madeline Lorio oversaw the signing of the matriculation roster by each student.

 

The matriculants were invited onstage individually and officially welcomed as LSMSA students. Dr. Steve Horton gave them each a certificate and an elbow bump in place of the usual handshake. The event was live-streamed so friends and family members could watch from home.

 

“The certificate you receive tonight will be replaced by the prestigious LSMSA diploma when you graduate,” said Executive Director Steve Horton. “They’re bookends to your experience here. Between now and then you’ll fill reams of important paperwork. Remember to equate love and work. Your actions are always the measure of your love for the Louisiana School…Flex your talents and abilities…Sense what it can mean for you to soar with the Eagles!”
