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."
