STUDENT SPEAKERS
The following students have been chosen to represent their respective colleges at today’s ceremony. These remarkable individuals, all graduating seniors, radiate a profound sense of Falcon pride, deeply rooted in their connection to the UWRF community and their transformative experiences at the university.
Kassie Riesgraf
Kassie Riesgraf is an English education major from Eau Claire. Her desire to teach stems from her love for people, especially the younger generation. She believes students are the greatest examples of personal growth and loves to inspire confidence in their abilities.
Riesgraf was selected as one of the Commencement speakers due to her positive energy, enthusiasm and confidence. Her willingness to share her story and experiences is highly valued in every area of her life. She holds herself to high expectations when teaching, wanting to provoke deep thinking among her students.
During her time at UW-River Falls, Riesgraf has been heavily involved in campus activities, including working as a resident assistant in Grimm Hall, serving as the president of The Navigators campus ministry and being a member of the Chancellor’s Student Ambassadors. When she is not teaching, Riesgraf enjoys singing worship songs, painting, thrifting and spending time with her husband.
Jennifer Ponczoch
Jennifer Ponczoch, of Stevens Point, is an animal science major with a minor in chemistry. If you ask Ponczoch about her career goals or journey to this point, her passion for veterinary medicine is immediately clear.
UWRF provided the perfect environment for Ponczoch to flourish. During her time on campus, she was deeply involved in the community, serving as an officer in the Pre-Vet Club, a resident assistant and as a member of Falcon FETCH, an on-campus assistance dog training program. An accomplished leader, Ponczoch has thoroughly enjoyed being a mentor to fellow students.
Beyond her studies, she enjoys riding her horse, being outdoors, traveling and working at a daycare. Following graduation, she will truly miss the friends and classmates who defined her time at UWRF as she moves on to University of Wisconsin–Madison School of Veterinary Medicine to pursue her dreams.
Nolan Arechigo
Nolan Arechigo is a marketing communications and communication studies double major from St. Croix Falls. Though he is from a small town, Arechigo has big dreams. He sets his expectations high and has a passion to one day pursue public speaking.
Music has been a big part of Arechigo's UWRF experience. He has used his talents as a sousaphone player to support the football and hockey teams as part of the Marching Falcons. He also performed as part of the pit orchestra for the Music and Stage and Screen Arts Department’s acclaimed production of the musical “Urinetown.”
In his senior year, Arechigo joined the Student Involvement team as a social media intern. The position allowed him to showcase his content creation skills and connect with the student body through effective promotion of dozens of campus events. It also helped him gain confidence to apply for the honor of being a Commencement speaker this year, helping him move toward his goal of one day becoming an exceptional speaker.
CHANCELLOR’S AWARD
In 1977, the Chancellor’s Award was established to recognize students for significant non-academic contributions to the university—an area not previously acknowledged through existing honors.
The award consists of an antique bronze medallion, two inches in diameter and suspended from a red ribbon. It is a replica of the Chancellor's ceremonial medallion, bears the university seal and is accompanied by a certificate of recognition.
The award honors service to the university and is primarily conferred upon upperclass students, though exceptions may be made. It is not based principally on academic achievement and is typically presented at the annual all-campus awards reception.
Names with ◊ in the program designate Chancellor’s Award recipients.
The following graduating seniors received the Chancellor’s Award:
Julisa Bearhart
