Tim Tai graduates from Lawrence University
Lawrence University’s Class of 2025 was celebrated in grand fashion at a Commencement held June 15 on Main Hall Green. Tim Tai of Everett, was among the the more than 350 graduates who walked the Commencement stage to loud applause from family, friends, and the Lawrence community.
The ceremony included an inspiring message from Commencement speaker Campbell Scott, an accomplished actor and director who first found his way to the stage while an undergraduate at Lawrence in the early 1980s.
Confetti and graduation caps flew as Commencement came to a close on an overcast but gorgeous Sunday morning. Faculty then led the graduates through the Lawrence Arch in a recessional that has quickly become a cherished tradition, representing the transition from student to alumnus. The graduates join an alumni community more than 22,000 strong.
“Sitting where you sit at this exact moment, getting a degree from this venerable institution, is not just an accomplishment, it’s not just the fruition of time and effort spent, but it’s also an irreplaceable marker of your investment in yourself,” Scott told the graduates.
Scott, who first rose to prominence as an actor in the 1990 film “Longtime Companion,” released seven years after he graduated, talked about his journey through Lawrence, from arriving a bit unfocused to being inspired and refocused by brilliant and committed professors. He would go on to a 40-year-plus career as an actor and director that included such films as “Dying Young,” “Singles,” “Big Night,” “The Amazing Spider-Man,” and the recently released “Nonnas.”

Founded in 1847, Lawrence has an enrollment of about 1,500 students drawn from nearly every state and more than 40 countries.
