Falcon pride shines at Spring Commencement 2025

7/7/2025

 
On Saturday, May 17, Fairmont State University celebrated its Spring Commencement at the Feaster Center, honoring graduates with morning and afternoon ceremonies marked by Falcon pride and inspiring words from distinguished speakers Chad M. Riley and Dr. J. Robert Baker.

Riley, a third-generation Fairmont State graduate and Vice President at The Thrasher Group, addressed the morning ceremony. Riley shared his journey from working student to industry leader, highlighting his dedication to West Virginia and his ongoing support of Fairmont State as a member of the Fairmont State Foundation board and an employer of Fairmont State graduates.

At the afternoon ceremony, Dr. Baker, a longtime faculty member and academic leader, reflected on nearly 30 years of service to the university. Known for his leadership of the Honors Program and mentorship of countless students, Dr. Baker’s message centered on learning, service, and the impact of education.
