Stevenson University Announces 2017 Commencement Speaker
Stevenson University is pleased to announce that Deborah Phelps will be the keynote speaker for our 64th Commencement Ceremonies on Thursday, May 18.
Phelps, mother of Baltimore Olympic swim champion Michael Phelps, is widely recognized as an innovative, energetic, and talented leader and is a master teacher with more than three decades of experience in teaching and education administration.
The proud mother of three children and grandmother of three, Phelps is the Executive Director of the Education Foundation of the Baltimore County Public Schools. Her dedication and commitment to excellence in the field of education have earned Phelps many honors including Baltimore County Public School’s Teacher of the Year Finalist, two-time Maryland Family & Consumer Science Teacher of the Year, and Baltimore County’s “Baby Boomer of the Year.”
Phelps served as Convocation Speaker in August 2013, the year most of our graduates matriculated at Stevenson, and it will be a special joy to welcome her back.
