Commencement is a special celebration that recognizes a student’s hard work and dedication, culminating with the awarding of a Penn State degree. Here are some of our graduates' reflections.
Between faculty members, staff members, and coaches, there’s been so many people here at Shenango that have left a positive impact on my experience, and I couldn’t thank each and every one of them enough. To mention a couple, both Lisa Bertin and Amy Effinite have helped guide me in the right direction from the moment I transferred here, and every semester since. Again, I can’t thank them enough for that.

Dr. Dean has been an ongoing role model of mine since the beginning of this program; she has always been so willing to help me grow as a student and PTA. Dr. Jewell has been so helpful with clinical placements and making sure we are getting the best experience possible. Finally, Andy Puleo has been a great employer and friend. He’s always been very helpful with anything on campus. Working in the fitness center was a great opportunity and he provided me with a good laugh when needed the most.
