Commencement

“For connections and people that supported you, you owe it to them to make something of yourself and be that connection for others out there in the world.”

Mount Aloysius College celebrated its 83rd commencement ceremony on May 11 in the College’s Athletic Convocation and Wellness Center. Over 160 graduates earned their associate’s, bachelor’s, and master’s degrees with the Board of Trustees, faculty, staff, and loved ones in attendance.

Gregory Drew, president of Value Drug for 15 years and member of the Mount Aloysius College Board of Trustees for nearly seven years, gave an inspiring commencement address for everyone in attendance.

Student speakers included Ekema-Ndoh Ebone of York, PA (invocation); Thomas McElhinny of Bellefonte, PA (student commencement address); and Jordyn Torrance of Tars, PA (benediction). In McElhinny’s student commencement address, he spoke about making something of yourself and the benefits of good communication.
