About the Commencement Speaker:Bertice Berry, Ph.D., an educator, writer, and entertainer, will serve as the keynote speaker at Commencement. Despite being told by a high-school teacher she was “not college material,” Berry graduated magna cum laude from Jacksonville University and earned her Ph.D. in Sociology from Kent State University by age 26. At Kent State, Berry taught sociology and statistics and became one of the most popular teachers there, often employing humor in her lectures to address difficult subjects such as racism and sexism. She later left the university and became an award-winning entertainer, lecturer, and comedienne. Berry has made more than 200 annual public appearances and is the author of multiple bestselling books, including her memoir I’m on My Way, But Your Foot Is on My Head.
