A second ceremony for all other majors is scheduled for 10 a.m. on May 9, 2024, both events will be held in the campus gymnasium located in Schuylkill Haven.

Celebrating Growth and Inclusion

Chancellor Cory Scherer emphasized that the decision to organize two separate ceremonies stems from the significant growth of the graduating classes at Penn State Schuylkill. This approach aims to ensure that students can invite as many family members and friends as they wish to celebrate this important milestone.

“Commencement is a milestone moment, and we want it to be a meaningful and inclusive celebration for everyone involved,”

said Scherer. He highlighted the campus’s commitment to creating a celebratory environment that fosters inclusivity and support for graduates as they transition to the next phase of their lives.

Both ceremonies will be accessible via livestream for individuals unable to attend in person.
