During Wells College’s 153rd Commencement ceremony today, President Jonathan Gibralter conferred undergraduate degrees upon 73 graduating students. In addition, a longtime professor who is retiring this year was granted the honorary title of professor emeritus, and several students were honored with academic and leadership awards.
The day’s events began at 10 a.m. in front of Macmillan Hall, with the traditional processional of students, faculty and featured guests through the building’s front doors. After the Rev. Barb Blom ’82 shared a spirited invocation, Marie Chapman Carroll ’75, chair of the College’s Board of Trustees, congratulated the seniors on their extraordinary achievement: “Today, we celebrate your rebirth as global citizens, prepared to thrive
Last month, Koenig was proven right.
Koenig and Emmanuel Fle Chea, two Wells students from the West African country of Liberia, will graduate this year thanks to a $30,000 grassroots campaign launched after tuition funding from their sponsor fell through. The campaign saw Wells alumni, the Aurora community and the college itself come together to ensure Koenig and Chea s education doesn t end for reasons beyond their control. I don t have a word to express how I felt, Koenig told The Citizen. I m grateful to everyone who donated, and I promise to pay it forward someday.
Chea added, I was shocked and amazed by their kind gesture. This singles out that I am in a community that cares and wants me to succeed.

Wells College sits on a picturesque tree-filled campus on the shores of New York s Cayuga Lake, with brick buildings dating back to its founding in 1868, a year when a different president, Andrew Johnson, was impeached.
It has a modest $24 million endowment and enrolls a little more than 400 full-time students. It s quite different from the image of blue-blooded and cash-rich institutions like Harvard University, with $42 billion in endowments and 36,000 students.
Its margins are so slim, in fact, that last May, when Wells faced the prospect of the pandemic closing its campus in the fall, the college’s president, Jonathan Gibralter, wrote that closure could push Wells over the edge. Wells simply will not receive enough revenue to continue operations, he wrote in a letter.
