126 VCU Commencement 2016 Alma Mater

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.

VCU Commencement 2016 127 Dear graduate,

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

As you bring this chapter of your academic career to a close, we hope you will rec- ognize that your university and your alumni organizations have provided you with solid ground from which to grow. We also hope that you, as alumni, will use your significant talents and energies to continue and expand your alumni organization’s stewardship.

As a graduate, you join more than 174,000 VCU alumni throughout the world and, with words and deeds, show the excellence and quality of your education. Be proud of your university, because we are proud of you! Our wish for each of you is that you realize your full potential and, in doing so, find a method of contributing to society and the university in a way that is meaningful for you.

Please consider joining VCU Alumni and continue to be engaged with your alma mater. We won’t be the best VCU Alumni we can be without you!

Yours for VCU,

James E. Williams (B.S.’84/GPA; M.S.’96/GPA) President, VCU Alumni
