Penn State Behrend awarded 632 degrees at the college’s spring commencement ceremony, held May 5 at Erie Insurance Arena.
The new Behrend graduates were led onto the arena floor by student marshals – the students with the highest grade-point averages. Zoe Mouchantaf represented the Schreyer Honors College.
It is a Behrend tradition for new graduates to be greeted by faculty members as they exit the stage.
“Our students have worked hard to get to this point,” Chancellor Ralph Ford said. “They’re going out into the world, and they’re going to do well.”
