Local Residents Graduate from The University of Scranton
The University of Scranton conferred more than 970 bachelor's and associate's degrees at its undergraduate commencement on Sunday, May 29, 2011, at Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza in Wilkes-Barre.
University of Scranton President Rev. Scott R. Pilarz, S.J., served as principal speaker at the ceremony.
"My friends in the Class of 2011, your education here at Scranton introduced you to high ideals and aspirations," said Father Pilarz in his remarks. "Yours is a formation that elicits great desires - desires that direct your days and works to the glory of God and the well-being of humankind."
At commencement, honorary degrees from Scranton were presented to Freda Adler, Ph.D., director of the Master of Science Program in Criminology and visiting professor in the Department of Criminology at the University of Pennsylvania; Carl J. Kuehner, University of Scranton alumnus, former chair of its board of trustees, and co-founder of Hope for Haiti; and Msgr. Andrew Martin, president emeritus of Camden Catholic High School, Cherry Hill, N.J.
The University of Scranton's undergraduate class of 2011 included four recipients of Fulbright scholarships - the U.S. Government's premier scholarship program for overseas graduate study, teaching and research - and two recipients of Goldwater scholarships - the nation's most coveted scholarship program for science, engineering and mathematics. Graduates represented 16 states including Florida, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia. Majors with the most graduates were biology, exercise science, communication, nursing, psychology, elementary education, marketing and accounting.
In his address, Father Pilarz told graduates the Jesuit education they received at Scranton was "so much more than the accumulation of information."
"... (T)he word education, as we commonly use it, doesn't really capture what happens on this sacred ground. Your time here has been formative, transformative. A word inscribed on the statue of St. Ignatius on campus expresses it best - metanoia - a time of turning. Turning toward new ideas, new methodologies, new paradigms, and, most importantly, new people," said Father Pilarz. "Take time to count the ways in which you are different than you were four years ago. Take stock of the new you - the person who was been shaped in ways subtle and dramatic, the person who now welcomes what is to come."
The commencement marked the last public appearance by Father Pilarz as the 24th president of The University of Scranton. He will begin service as president of Marquette University, Milwaukee, Wis., this summer.

Pilarz, S.J., president of The University of Scranton, in his address to the graduates. "The effect lies ahead, budding toward radiance. The gospel of light is handed on to you. You're being ignited for the world's well-being and the greater glory of God is Scranton's highest hope."
Scranton's graduate degree recipients represent 38 states including Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah and Virginia.
