A commencement ceremony took place Friday night for graduate students and one for undergraduate students was Saturday morning.

Wright State University President Sue Edwards, Ph. D, addressed the graduating class. She urged students, family, and friends to savor the accomplishment.

“The greatest reward for all your hard work is how you feel deep down inside right now. That sense of accomplishment of making it to the finish line, having earned your college degree,” she said. “You have faced your challenges and clearly triumphed to get to this point, though you did not do it alone. I know many of you are mindful of that.”
