“Commencement is an annual event that we as academics look forward to,” said Dr. Ron May, Ancilla College President.  “It is an affirmation of what we work towards in our careers in helping students grow and develop.  For our graduates, it’s a time in which they are either prepared to go into the world of work or on to their further degree work.  We congratulate our graduates and wish them well.”
