Only four years have passed since the first Fall Commencement was celebrated at Shawnee State University.

On Friday, Dec. 14, 2012, the fourth annual Fall Commencement took place with 231 students graduating, 129 receiving Bachelor's Degrees, 69 receiving Associate Degrees, 11 receiving Individualized Studies Degrees and 22 receiving Master's Degrees in Occupational Therapy with 25 percent of the class graduating with honors.

Keisha Arbogast of South Point, OH, graduated with a bachelor's degree in Early Childhood PreK-3.

"We have some outstanding graduates who went above and beyond expectations," said SSU President Rita Rice Morris, Ph.D. "During the past few years, we have experienced the largest increase in community service projects, an increase in public awareness about important issues, and an amazing increase in diversity of our student population."

Some of our students traveled out of state and some traveled out of the country for community service projects, student teaching and study abroad. Spain, Germany, Morocco and China have been actively involved in the student exchange program.

Students are traveling half way around the world eager to learn from these programs enriching the student experience.

More than 13,000 Shawnee State alumni have graced the halls at the university.

"I congratulate our graduates for their impressive accomplishments and want to offer them a warm welcome as the newest members of the Shawnee State University Alumni Association," said Morris. "Now, it's time for the world to benefit from your talents, gifts and knowledge."
