WAYNESBURG – Aradhna Oliphant delivered a message of leadership to the Waynesburg University graduates honored Sunday during the school’s 165th commencement ceremony.
“I love that this university believes so much in the concept of servant leadership, which in my experience is the only real and lasting leadership that we can offer each other,” president and chief executive officer of Leadership Pittsburgh Inc. told the graduates gathered at the campus.
Oliphant discussed the attributes of great leadership, noting true leaders remain curiously humble, are always present and get involved. These attributes, she said, have been shared by the leaders she has admired and learned from the most.
Oliphant challenged the graduates, urging them to be involved and remain curious.
“May you be those leaders,” she said. “May you show the way.”
The ceremony honored 525 undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students from the Waynesburg campus, as well as the university’s off-site centers in Cecil Township, Cranberry and Monroeville.
Prior to the commencement exercises, the Rev. Daniel Migliore, the Charles Hodge Professor Emeritus of Systemic Theology at Princeton Theological Seminary, delivered the baccalaureate address.
