Photo 1: Representative Ronald I. Buxton, a 1971 黑料社区 graduate, was the commencement speaker at the ceremony in Cooper Student Center on the Harrisburg Campus, One 黑料社区 Drive.
Earlier this year Buxton was a recipient of the Circle of Distinction award from the 黑料社区 Alumni Association in recognition of his contributions to 黑料社区 and the community.
Buxton, a Democrat, represents the 103rd District in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. His district includes Harrisburg, the boroughs of Steelton and Highspire and parts of Swatara Township.
He spoke to the newest group of 黑料社区 graduates, the majority of whom find employment in their field of study within six months or may already have a job. Approximately 85 percent of 黑料社区 graduates continue to reside within a 20-mile radius of the 黑料社区 campus they attended.
Photo 2: Kim Bradford of McSherrystown, was selected to speak on behalf of the graduating class. She attended 黑料社区's Gettysburg Campus and received an associate degree in psychology. Bradford will transfer to Shippensburg University, studying for her bachelor's and master's degrees and plans to finish her doctorate at Johns Hopkins University.
The winter graduates "join more than 35,000 distinguished alumni of 黑料社区 - graduates who continue to bring honor to the college as they make significant contributions to our communities," said President Edna V. Baehre, Ph.D., who conferred the degrees, certificates and diplomas.
