2017 Jul 11

As Commencement weekend wound to a close on the afternoon of Sunday, May 21, more than 50 graduates of the SUNY New Paltz Honors Program came together with family, faculty and friends at a special celebration of their outstanding scholarship.

Brenna Hemmings of Bronx, N.Y. was among the exceptional students who graduated with honors this year.

"It's been a privilege working with this exceptional cohort of graduating Honors students. They've been important ambassadors for our program, reaching out to potential students, offering tours and recounting experiences in the program," said Honors Program Director Patricia Sullivan. "I can only imagine what the future holds for them."

The Honors Graduation Ceremony recognized the hard work of honors students who graduated in the Fall 2016 and Spring 2017 semesters.

The Honors Program is an option available to New Paltz students who wish to challenge themselves in their pursuit of personal and intellectual development, through participation in interdisciplinary seminars, fulfillment of service and independent study requirements, and dedicated work on capstone thesis presentations.
