Chancellor Mark Mone said he invited the actor back to 51ÁÔÆæ four or five years ago, but Dafoe was busy making several movies. Then, the COVID-19 pandemic hit.

He <a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/acclaimed-actor-willem-dafoe-remembers-time-uwm\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">described arriving at 51ÁÔÆæ<\/a> as an \u201cunsophisticated kid from Appleton, Wisconsin\u201d and working a series of jobs to pay his way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy time at 51ÁÔÆæ was formative and positive,\u201d Dafoe said. \u201cIt marked probably the first time I decided to pursue acting \u2014 not necessarily because I thought I could make a career of it, but more because I found what I loved to do.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt 17 years old, I wasn\u2019t concerned about making a living yet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dafoe said he chose 51ÁÔÆæ because he liked the urban environment and the feel of a blue-collar campus \u201cthat was serious minded and in the world, as opposed to the bubble of a traditional college-town school.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLylbcMvk6V54c9e4T5TD5GZcKNyMUIET8\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">After two years of intense training<\/a>, he left to become part of Theatre X, a faculty-student workshop that became an independent experimental theater company.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBe at peace with yourself,\u201d Dafoe advised the graduates. \u201cFind what you love and practice it any way you can. Serve others, make every step a pleasure, and trust it will take you where you need to be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Among the students enthralled by Dafoe\u2019s speech was Dominic Marr, who pasted an image of Dafoe as the Green Goblin\u2019s alter ego, Norman Osborn, on his mortar board.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was really good,\u201d said Marr, who graduated with a master\u2019s degree in freshwater sciences and technology. \u201cIt was entertaining and what it needed to be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Melissa Schussman, who graduated with a master\u2019s in environmental engineering, wore a Spider-Man bodysuit under her regalia. She described walking across the stage as both thrilling and stressful \u2014 and noted that the superhero franchise had helped see her through other turning points.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring my thesis defense, I had a huge Spider-Man water bottle,\u201d she said. \u201cWhen I heard [Dafoe] was speaking, I had to wear the costume.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Four-time
