Turn the Page More than 500 students, including 85 graduate students, participated in December commencement in Haas Center for the Arts, Mitrani Hall. “The right career can have a profound impact on your entire life, so don’t stop until you find it,” said Shavonne Shorter, associate professor of communication studies and the speaker for the morning undergraduate ceremony. “And when you get it, make the most of it. Be innovative, be original, work smarter, blow their minds. Let your actions show the world just what it means to have a Bloomsburg degree behind your name.” “We’re all part of a story, and you’re about to write the next chapter. Don’t be afraid to turn life’s pages. Be brave. Be bold. Don’t miss an opportunity,” said Jennifer Venditti, associate professor of biological and allied health sciences and afternoon ceremony speaker. “As Bloomsburg University graduates, I’m confident you’re prepared to tackle whatever you find on the next page.” Top honor graduates with the highest grade-point average in their college were Kathryn Rose Spirk, College of Liberal Arts; Taylor Cecelia Bozza, College of Science and Technology; Derek Grant Swartzentruber, Zeigler College of Business; and Danielle Ileana Ghingold, College of Education.
