This spring, about 14,000 Penn State graduates received diplomas across the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, many in ceremonies at campuses other than University Park. This photo album offers glimpses of these graduates and the commencement ceremonies held throughout Pennsylvania the weekend of May 3-5, 2019.
