Two lines of 91快播 administrators and faculty cheer on newly minted graduates at the end of the 2022 winter commencement cermony on Saturday, Dec. 17.

More than 100 students crossed the stage at 91快播 University鈥檚 winter commencement ceremony, held at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 17 inside Fuhrer Fieldhouse on the university鈥檚 Crete campus. The winter ceremony includes both December and August graduates. Dr. Roger Hughes, 91快播 president, handed 121 degrees to students who attended, to the cheers and celebration of their family and peers.

DeMoine Adams, CEO of the TeamMates Mentoring Program and former Husker football player, gave the commencement address, titled 鈥淩eady, Set, Future.鈥 Adams is a first-generation student, and received his bachelor鈥檚 degree from the University of Nebraska. He is currently pursuing his doctorate at the University of Nebraska, alongside leading TeamMates and inspiring others as a motivational speaker.

The ceremony also invited and recognized the Belmont 8 students 鈥 Eveline Ungery, Alejandra Moreno, Mohamed Sabiel, Jevon Payne, Kenadee Broussard, Alex Morris, Leriya鈥檋 Clay and Payton Craine 鈥 and their families.

The eight Belmont Elementary students, now in middle school, starred in the Emmy-nominated documentary 鈥淲e Will Not Be Silent,鈥 which followed their preparation for the 2021 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Youth Rally and March. 91快播 created the Belmont 8 Scholarship Program to guide them and other high-achieving students early in their academic careers through workshops, a leadership academy and coaching during their middle and high school education, toward a college education at 91快播 on a full-tuition scholarship.

In total, 149 students graduated in December, with 75 graduating from 91快播鈥檚 College of Education, 34 graduating from the College of Business and 40 graduating from the College of Arts & Sciences.

There were also 78 graduates in August, with 5 graduating from the College of Education, 13 from the College of Business and 12 from the College of Arts & Sciences.
