2026 Spring Commencement

The end of the spring semester is a time for celebrating our senior and Masters students as they graduate and move on to the next parts of their lives. Congratulations to Jose Gonzalez, Andrew Jara, Brooklyn Macross, Salvador Osorio-Martinez, Javier Salomon, Elijah Swanson, and Jose Zaragoza for earning their bachelors degrees in Geology, and to Jennifer Rubalcaba for graduating with her Masters degree! As a special addition to the Spring 2026 ceremony, Dr. Herman led the faculty parade in his brilliant blue Penn State regalia. Check out the photos from the event below!
