Previous Graduation Ceremonies
At Webster University's 105th commencement ceremony, the executive producer of “NBC News Daily” and Webster Geneva Campus alumna Erika Josephson-Heise received the honorary Doctor of Leters and served as commencement speaker for the event. She encouraged graduates to "take a chance" when reaching a crossroads — urging them to seize opportunities and to pursue their life's purpose as it evolves.

At its 104th commencement ceremony, Webster University welcomed alumnus Matt Vogel — the performer behind Kermit the Frog, Big Bird, and more than a dozen other Muppets on “Sesame Street” and numerous films and television programs — as he received an honorary doctorate from Webster and addressed the graduating class. Matt's words for Class of 2023 graduates include: "I want all of you to write your own ending — and your own beginning, too."

Webster was honored to have Dr. Djibril Diallo, president and CEO of the African Renaissance and Diaspora Network (ARDN), as the commencement speaker for Webster University's 103rd Commencement. Diallo has a distinguished career in international relations, diplomacy and human development, particularly in advocacy for issues affecting the African continent and victims of the AIDS epidemic. As chief executive of ARDN, Diallo leads the organization's "Pathway to Solutions" initiative, which aims to popularize the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and to increase public understanding of the role and functions of the UN.
The 2022 Commencement also welcomed back graduates from 2020 and 2021 to participate in our in-person ceremonies.
