What do Mario Puzo's “The Godfather” and Colin Powell's life rules have in common? According to Admiral James Stavridis—quite a bit. Listen in as Michael sits down with the former NATO Supreme Allied Commander to unpack his bold and unconventional commencement address recently delivered at Adelphi University. Drawing surprising leadership lessons from The Godfather, Stavridis inspires graduates with wisdom from Don Corleone to Colin Powell. The conversation then widens to geopolitics including NATO strategy and the Russia-Ukraine war, Israel and Iran, and the controversy over the gifted Qatari jet. Timely, thoughtful, and unexpectedly entertaining—this is an episode you won't want to miss. Original air date 22 May 2025.

Columbia University faculty and students are reflecting on another turbulent year on campus as commencement wraps. Meanwhile, New Jersey Representative LaMonica McIver appeared in court Wednesday on charges she assaulted federal officers.. Plus a new poll finds most residents say housing in the state is too expensive. Plus, a new Rutgers University poll shows that more than half of New Jerseyans think housing is too expensive in the Garden State.

In this podcast, relive the celebrations of Commencement Weekend for the Providence College Class of 2025. This episode features recordings of remarks from speakers including Rev. Kenneth R. Sicard, O.P. '78, '82G, the college's president (29:22); commencement speakers Judge Frank Caprio '58, '08Hon. (42:17); and Michael A. Cox '97SCE, '25Hon., Boston's police commissioner (00:41). Also hear from 2024-25 Accinno Award recipient Gizem Zencirci, Ph.D., professor of political science (12:38); Connor Flynn '25, senior class president (38:03); and Samuel Seda '25, a philosophy and humanities double major who is one of eight students graduating with highest rank in the class (19:30).

Graduation season is here! In this heartfelt episode, Maggie and Lauren reflect on their entire transformative college experiences. From their uncertainty as first-year students to the personal growth that happened along the way, they reflect on shifting goals, meaningful relationships, the pressures of post-grad life, and more. It's a candid celebration of the resilience, change, and self-discovery that can only happen in college.

I think we rush too quickly through our celebrations. It seems that at each milestone, we pause only briefly to move on toward the next milestone. But if we don't celebrate well, we are actually setting ourselves up for a disappointing future.  I was honored to be invited to offer the commencement address for some amazing students graduating from the Parent Teacher Co-op program.

Habemus Papam! The Church has a new pope—and he's from Chicago. In this episode, Father Dave and Deacon Bob react with joy, awe, and a healthy dose of disbelief to the election of Pope Leo XIV, a South Side Chicago native and fellow “Bob.” The first American pontiff, Leo XIV is an Augustinian, missionary, canon lawyer, and lifelong baseball fan with deep roots in both Villanova and Peru. His election is already making waves—and memes. Before diving into Vatican news, the hosts process a different kind of drama: sports heartbreak. Bob relives the Cleveland Cavaliers' playoff collapse—one for the record books—and the deep disappointment that followed. Father Dave offers perspective (and a hopeful prediction) before they shift gears to highlight Franciscan University's Commencement weekend. From Mary Rice Hasson's bold defense of the human person to Bishop Andrew Cozzens' catechetical preaching, the event was a joyful witness to faith and truth. Finally, they unpack the significance of the name Leo, what this new pope may prioritize, and how the legacy of Pope Leo XIII—with his groundbreaking encyclicals on labor, justice, and the Holy Spirit—may resonate in the years ahead. From Chicago sports to conclave suspense, from Catholic memes to Marian devotion, this episode is a fast-paced blend of humor, reverence, and hope for the Church's future under a pope who, as Bob puts it, “plays Wordle with his brother and orders from Wawa.”   Resources Mentioned The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty Rerum Novarum by Pope Leo XIII Pope Leo XIV – Live Coverage and Commentary (Vatican News)

With 795 graduates, the college is celebrating their achievements with grand festivities, including a significant tent setup on campus.  Graduates are invited, along with friends, family, faculty and staff, to gather in person to collectively recognize the accomplishments and confer the degrees of the class of 2025. The Health Professions Commencement and Pinning Ceremonies will take place on Thursday, May 15, with Commencement at 2pm and Pinning at 4pm on the Middletown campus. Commencement for all other programs will take place on Friday, May 16 at 2pm on the Middletown campus. In a heartwarming segment, Deborah recounted her journey to earning an associate's degree in surgical technology. She started her academic pursuit in her forties, motivated by the neonatal care her son, Joshua, received. Juggling family life and studies during the COVID pandemic, Deborah's story epitomizes perseverance. She expressed immense gratitude for her supportive family and highlighted the opportunities provided by Laurel Ridge, including scholarships and grants that made her education affordable - ZERO out-of-pocket expense! Janet and Deborah discussed the transformative power of education and the deep bonds formed with classmates. Deborah lauded her favorite professor, Ashley Seabolt, for her support. She shared insights about the practical and theoretical components of her coursework, enhancing her passion for surgical technology. The conversation also covered the broader impact of community college education, with Brandy emphasizing the financial benefits and career readiness offered by Laurel Ridge. The episode closed with an uplifting note, as Deborah dedicated her degree to her late father and encouraged everyone, regardless of age, to pursue their educational dreams. Brandy also invited the community to attend two upcoming events being hosted at the Middletown Campus of Laurel Ridge Community College. A Student Art Show will be held on Friday, May 9, from 3pm - 5pm in the Sekel Art Atrium next to the Wolk Library.

Ferguson.

For Christians, the resurrection of Jesus is not something that is celebrated once a year but a moment that forever changes your life.In a few weeks, many will celebrate the completion of their high school or college studies. To recognize these achievements, schools will host graduation ceremonies, called commencement exercises. Because these ceremonies celebrate the completion of a course of study, most people think of a commencement service as a ceremony to mark the conclusion of something.However, to commence means to start. Commencement exercises are intended to mark the beginning of something. For high school graduates, that is the beginning of their life as adults and entering the workforce, and for college graduates, that is the beginning of the career they trained for.This is similar to how many think about Resurrection Sunday. In many ways, Resurrection Sunday can feel like the conclusion – the big event. And thus, the Sunday after is more about getting back to normal. The family pictures have been taken and posted to social media. The new clothes are now just another piece in your wardrobe. All of the candy has been eaten. And now things are back to a regular routine and norm. For those who have confessed Jesus as Lord and believed that God raised him from the dead, the resurrection is not the conclusion but the beginning. For Christians, Resurrection Sunday is not an event that comes and goes; it is a celebration of a moment that forever changes their lives.Luke 24:13-35 recounts the experience of two men who seemed very familiar with Jesus and what He taught. They seemed to have had high hopes that Jesus was, in fact, the Messiah. Yet they are perplexed because of the events that led to Jesus's crucifixion and death. They have heard reports that His body is no longer in the grave and that He is, in fact, alive.These are amazing and perplexing things to these men, but at the point that we meet them in Luke 24, these events have had no impact on their lives. They are walking home and getting back to their regular lives. But as they walk home, they meet Jesus, and everything about their lives changes.The resurrection forever transforms your understanding and your life.Ben Smith is the pastor of Central Baptist Church, Waycross, GA.This sermon was originally preached on 4/27/2025 for Resurrection Sunday.Books and downloadable PDFs of Pastor Ben's sermon notes are available at http://bensmithsr.org/resources.For more information on Central Baptist Church, visit www.cbcwaycross.org.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (May 1, 2025) – As the University of Kentucky prepares to celebrate its newest alumni during Commencement ceremonies on May 9th and 10th, each student walking across the stage carries a unique story of transformation and impact shaped by their time on campus. Earning a degree in any field demands dedication, perseverance and countless hours of study, but the experience of UK often provides much more, equipping students with skills and perspectives gained through community engagement, hands-on research opportunities and impactful experiences with the wider world, allowing them to go on to lead lives of meaning and purpose. Two such students are graduating this spring from the UK College of Public Health, with journeys that show how UK's supportive environment, coupled with their own initiative, has prepared them to tackle complex health challenges on a broad, even global, scale. Sophia Goodin, a Lexington native, and Sophie Ciaverelli, who grew up partly in Texas and Germany, were drawn to public health for its focus on making a difference at a population level, rather than through solely individual patient care. They both held a desire to use their skills to help entire communities and appreciated the unique viewpoint Public Health provided in getting to the root causes and solutions of certain problems. Another cornerstone of their UK experience has been the supportive and close-knit community within the college, along with the accessibility and passion of the faculty and staff. Goodin describes the community as “super welcoming,” and noted the ease of having “personal conversations” due to the college's smaller size. Ciaverelli added that the college made strong impressions on them by helping students feel “they want me here, I belong here, and they are celebrating the fact that that I'm here” right from the start. On this episode of Behind the Blue, Goodin and Ciaverelli reflect on their time at UK, their unique research and international experiences, and what's next as they prepare for graduation and embark on their future paths in public health. ‘Behind the Blue' is available via a variety of podcast providers, including iTunes and Spotify. Become a subscriber to receive new episodes of “Behind the Blue” each week. UK's latest medical breakthroughs, research, artists and writers will be featured, along with the most important news impacting the university.
