State’s attorney addresses Wor-Wic graduates During commencement ceremonies for Wor-Wic Community College at the Wicomico Youth and Civic Center, Wicomico County State’s Attorney Matt Maciarello spoke about how his experience as a Wor-Wic student gave him “a taste of success, a solid educational foundation, better writing, logic and reasoning skills, and most of all, encouragement.” Maciarello encouraged the graduates to work hard and maintain a balance by also focusing on the other things they value in life like family, friends, religion and recreation. “Don’t be afraid to move, don’t be afraid to take risks,” Maciarello continued. “I encourage you to wear your successes, along with failures like souvenirs from your journey – because

your failures should tell you and the world that you have the guts to take the chance….” Morgan Hazel, chairperson of WorWic’s board of trustees, introduced the commencement speaker, members of the board of trustees and other guests on stage. After the commencement address by Maciarello, Dr. Ray Hoy, college president, presented him with a plaque on behalf of the 2012 graduating class. Dr. Stephen L. Capelli, vice president for academic and student affairs, introduced the student speaker, Sgt. Aaron Genter of Berlin, a combat medic for the Maryland Army National Guard. Genter graduated from Wor-Wic with an associate degree in nursing. Addressing the Class of 2012, Genter shared a quote from Mahatma
Gandhi: “Be the change you want to see in the world.” Genter received the Distinguished Chapter Officer Hallmark Award at the PTK Middle States Regional Convention in 2011. Genter has served as treasurer of the nursing student organization and he helped to found the college’s Veterans Group, for which he also served as treasurer. During his time at Wor-Wic, he was also a student ambassador, and a student worker in the financial aid office. Genter plans to pursue a master’s degree in nursing. General studies was the most popular major among members of the graduating class. Receiving an associate degree in general studies Alex Tingle, 15, of Salisbury, is the youngest student to graduate from Wor-Wic since the col-

lege was founded 37 years ago. When Tingle was in the fourth grade, test results from Johns Hopkins University indicated that he was in the top one percent in all academic areas. Because regular elementary school and homeschooling curricula weren’t academically challenging enough for Tingle, his parents investigated many options and decided it would be beneficial for him to attend Wor-Wic part time. Also receiving an associate degree in general studies, Mark Culver, 17, of Salisbury, graduated from Wor-Wic and from high school in the same month. Culver took advantage of the college’s dual enrollment program. Culver’s older brother, Matt Adkins, did the same thing in 2005.
