2017 May 30

Evan Bennetch, of Mechanicsburg, Pa., graduated from Lycoming College with a Bachelor of Arts degree in corporate communications and marketing. Bennetch also made Dean's List for the spring of 2017.

More than 250 graduates celebrated during the college's 169th Annual Commencement Ceremony on May 13.

Commencement keynote speaker Mary Anne Schmitt-Carey, the president of Say Yes to Education, Inc., reminded students to appreciate their college achievements, as many people are not able to follow in their footsteps. After encouraging students to thank their families and teachers for supporting them over the years, she provided graduates with advice for making the most of opportunities and for building fulfilling careers.

Schmitt-Carey, a leader in the education reform movement in the U.S., was recognized with a Doctor of Laws degree for her tireless commitment to the proposition that all students deserve the opportunity to learn regardless of their personal circumstances.
