Some students met their
requirements prior to
December, but they had to wait
until January to participate in
this ceremony.
"I graduated in July, so I'm
just here for the ceremony,"
Scott Mistysyn, Electrical
Engineering Technology gradu
ate, said.
For some non-traditional
students, the road to graduation
was a little bit longer than the
standard four years.
"We're graduating and
we're also Penn State employ
ees," Marianne Dimatteo, edu
cation, training and develop
ment graduate, and Evelyn
McClay, community psycholo
gy, said. "It seems like it took
forever, but it feels good that
we've got the support of the
college and our families and co
workers."
Grandparents, aunts,
uncles, children and spouses
came to share the day with their
relative who was graduating.
All the family members
expressed their pride.
"I think it's fantastic," Clara
Murray, who was here to see
her daughter, Cecilia Fuller,
graduate. "She worked hard
and she deserves it."
"I'm happy," Fuller's step
son, Richard, said. "I'm glad
that she's graduating so I can
spend more time with her."
"I'm thrilled," Jean Myers
said of her daughter, Sherry
Bartel, graduating.
"I'm very proud of her,"
