Tishaura Jones, the mayor of St. Louis, Missouri, visited her alma mater as the ceremony's keynote speaker.
Jones told graduates to embrace the unknown.
"How will you change the community you come from or the community you move to? How will you make sure your lives do the singing? So again, keep your credit intact, relationships are primary, embrace the unknown and trust yourself to find the right path," Jones addressed graduates.
