Rounding out another school year defined in many ways by the COVID-19 pandemic, 221 men of the Class of 2022 received diplomas from Wabash College President Scott E. Feller during the 184th Commencement Ceremony.

The celebration began Saturday on the mall outside Pioneer Chapel, marking the first time the ceremony has taken place in its traditional location since 2019.

“The last four years have been filled with highs and lows, times of extraordinary achievement and unimaginable heartache. A pandemic and events both at the local and national levels conspired to break our community apart. But that didn’t happen,” President Scott Feller began in his address to Wabash’s newest graduates.

“You, gentlemen, are the reason for our collective success,” Feller said. “The bonds of your brotherhood are remarkably strong – and will remain that way as long as you nurture those relationships – just as you have these last four years.”

“Men of the Class of 2022, congratulations! I hope you will remember these last four years fondly. It’s true, COVID caused your time at Wabash to be unique historically, but not fundamentally different from your peers at other colleges,” Feller said. “What makes Wabash fundamentally different, though, is the brotherhood. Our brotherhood is essential to everything we do.”

Adam Berg was one of two Class of 2022 Commencement speakers. In his address, Berg referenced the Wabash soccer program’s motto, “1.5.” The 1 represents one’s individual effort, Berg said, and the 0.5 is a commitment to work harder, accounting for anyone who can’t give their 100% on any given day. “I propose that we, as graduates in a world that emphasizes the self, remember the 1.5 motto. As we depart this campus and pursue life after college, let us temper our interactions with coworkers, family members, and strangers with love.”

Kenny Coleman was a Class of 2022 Commencement speaker. In his address, Coleman talked about failing. He referenced his efforts to push for and promote diversity, equity and inclusion on campus, and said being a student at Wabash has taught him to embrace that he will lose and fail at times. He has learned to keep a positive attitude and to “fail forward,” as Clyde Morgan, head track and field coach and MXIBS assistant director, says. “You're going to get knocked down and even knocked back a little bit, but it's up to us to make the choice to keep getting up and keep moving forward.”
