Hanley about the upcoming commencement: 鈥淕raduation serves as a culmination of the excellence in teaching and learning that distinguishes 海角社区 in the Eastern Upper Peninsula of Michigan, throughout the state, and beyond. Our graduates leave LSSU possessing the academic knowledge, practical skills, and inner strength to craft a life of meaningful employment and personal fulfillment while enhancing the quality of life of the Great Lakes region, the country, and the world. We salute their wide-ranging accomplishments across the disciplines鈥攊n fisheries and wildlife management, engineering, robotics engineering, nursing, criminal justice, business, fire science, and kinesiology, plus many other fields.
