Public relations graduate Karen Delbert was among the estimated 1,500 students who
walked across the floor at the WVU Coliseum on Dec. 11, 2011.
On Sunday, WVU hosted its annual December Convocation ceremony during which graduates don their academic regalia and cross the Coliseum as their names are read, shaking the hands of WVU’s president and other members of the platform party and receiving a letter of congratulations.
Prior to the formal convocation ceremony, the School of Journalism held its December Graduate Open House ceremony and reception. In addition to acknowledging the graduating class, Dean Maryanne Reed recognized top graduating seniors and students graduating with Latin Honors. Top graduating seniors included:
