Dr. Leslie Kellogg, �黨�ǿ�mv’s Provost & Vice President of Academic Affairs, summed it up best.��

After 2020’s ceremonies were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and 2021 festivities were modified to an outdoor drive-thru event, LMC returned to the Mendel Center Mainstage on Sunday, May 1 for its 75th Commencement.����

“It feels really good to be back,” Kellogg said. “Our commencement is the most important and celebrated day of the year at �黨�ǿ�mv. It’s really the culmination of a great deal of hard work, perseverance, and sacrifices.”��

A total of 398 students received 406 degrees and certificates from 42 areas of study, including 381 associate degrees, nine advanced certificates, and 16 certificates of achievement during 10 a.m. (Arts & Sciences and General Studies) and 2 p.m. (Career & Workforce and Health Sciences) ceremonies.��

Two hundred twenty students or 55 percent of the Class of 2022 graduated with honors. There were 71 Early College graduates who received their associate degrees at the same time as their high school diplomas.��

Graduates hailed from a total of 12 U.S. states and six countries (Brazil, Canada, Ghana, Peru, and Vietnam).��

Students who received academic affairs program awards were Heidi Fox (Spirit of Nursing Award); Jessica Layman (Spirit of Hospitality Award); Jeremy Lane (Spirit of Visual & Performing Arts Award); David Ntsiful and Gavin Winkel (Bob Schodorf Distinguished Natural Sciences Scholar Award); Leah Barlow, Ashli Freeman, Brooke Hare, Lilly Jackson, Francisco Pahuamba and Aubrey White-Day (Betts Rittmeyer Natural Sciences Scholar Award); and Grace Burge, Dawn DiMatteo-Kemmer, Jerica Hairston, Jessica Layman and Charlotte Witt (Eta Sigma Delta Honor Society Award).��

In addition to Dr. Kellogg, presenters included LMC Board of Trustees Vice Chair John Grover, Board Secretary Mary Jo Tomasini, LMC President Dr. Trevor Kubatzke, Vice President of Student Affairs Nygil Likely, student speakers Lauren Bettis and Nicholas Hatton at the 10 a.m. ceremony, and Heidi Fox at the 2 p.m. ceremony.��
