Benjamin Bryant

I am incredibly humbled to be invited to address the Excelsior University Class of 2025 as this year's commencement speaker.

I am proud of my Excelsior degree and grateful for the non-traditional and non-linear path that brought me to the school all those years ago. Excelsior alumni comprise countless service members, working adults, parents, caregivers, and so many others who all about making their goals a reality, whatever it takes, ever moving ‘ever upward.’

See you soon, Class of 2025. I couldn't be prouder of (and happier for) all of you!
