Webster University Commencement Speaker, Army Lt. Col. Gregory Gadson

Webster University alumnus Army Lt. Col. Greg Gadson (MA 01) gave the commencement address and received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree at Websters 2010 commencement ceremony, Saturday, May 8 at the Muny in Forest Park.

Gadson lost both legs and suffered severe injuries to his right arm in 2007 while serving in Iraq. Just a few months later, the former West Point football player was walking with prosthetic legs and playing a key behind-the-scenes role with the Super Bowl-bound New York Giants. After the Giants 0-2 season start, Head Coach Tom Coughlin invited Gadson to meet with the team and talk to them about service, duty, perseverance and adversity. For his example of leadership, courage and camaraderie, Gadson was named the Giants Honorary Co-Captain.

I am so disappointed that the Education department was able to get a video of the BA and BS students, but nobody recorded the Arts and Science students graduating! I'm looking for the actual graduation at Webster 2011 for the Bachelor of Arts and Science students. Thank you.
