In March 2016, VCU Alumni’s board of governors approved Virginia Commonwealth University’s first alma mater, “We Gather Here.” Written by Lemont “Monty” Kier, Ph.D., a longtime faculty member, and his son, Andy Kier, a 1990 VCU graduate, the school song honors the university’s commitment to providing students with experiences that they carry with them beyond their years on campus.

“We Gather Here”

Lyrics: Monty Kier Music: Andy Kier

We gather here, our voices raise, of VCU we sing our praise, the Black and Gold our colors show, diversity and value grow. We’ve learned so much beyond each class, the joy of friendship will not pass. So much in life is mem’ry borne, of VCU they’ll not be shorn.

The mem’ries of a campus walk, so many friends, we stop to talk, the friendships here were made to last, they’re in our minds though years have passed. The seasons pass, the years roll by, from VCU the reason’s why we are enriched from values learned, they bring us joy that we have earned.

Next year again we will be here to see our school and give a cheer. So VCU keep all that is great, you’ve brought us joy that is our fate. So come let us sing of VCU, with ev’ry verse we will renew the mem’ries from our campus time, each one embedded in a rhyme.

74 VCU Commencement 2019 Dear graduate,

On behalf of VCU Alumni, I am privileged and honored to congratulate you on this wonderful occasion. Although you likely received support and encouragement from your families and friends, this is a personal achievement that is a tribute to your hard work and perseverance.

As you bring this chapter of your academic career to a close, I hope you will take a moment to recognize the opportunities that your university and alumni organization have provided to prepare you for this next step in your journey. You might be leaving campus, but you are not leaving alone. As a graduate, you join a community of more than 200,000 alumni throughout the world who engage with their communities and their alma mater to build on the strong foundation established by our past and present alumni organizations and leaders.

Your relationship with your alma mater can enhance and impact your life long after you graduate. This is an exciting time to become part of VCU Alumni. We welcome ALL graduates. Our goal is to find more and more programs and events that will bring you back to campus often. No matter where life takes you, VCU Alumni is a great way to connect and engage with the University and your fellow classmates.

My wish for each of you is that you realize your full potential and, in doing so, use your significant talents and energies to support and strengthen your communities, your alumni organization and your university.

Be proud of your university because we are proud of you.

Yours for VCU,

Dale C. Kalkofen, Ed.D. (M.A.E.’76/A) President, VCU Alumni
