This marks the college's 94th commencement ceremony. Graduates received their associate's, bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees. One of the students told 22News that because of her time at Elms, she is more equipped to work as a nurse.
'My teachers did a really good job at kind of setting up what it's going to be like working in the real world and giving me the certain resources to use, to help better prepare myself for that,' said Maya Grywalski, who received her Bachelor of Science and Nursing at Elms College.
Honorary degrees were also awarded to the retired president and CEO of Appleton Corporation and an alumnus of the college, who is also a community development leader in Alaska. The keynote speaker was a globally recognized MIT materials scientist.
