(Leavenworth, Kan.) - The University of Saint Mary will celebrate the close of another academic year and the achievements of the class of 2024 during a commencement ceremony at 11 a.m. on May 4 in McGilley Field House on USM's Leavenworth Campus, 4100 South 4th Street.
The event will honor the university's 229 graduates, including the first cohort of Doctor of Occupational Therapy students. The graduates hail from coast to coast and international destinations.
USM will also honor a faculty member with the Sullivan Award for Teaching Excellence and University Leadership and Service. Saint Mary established the award in 1990. The honor is named after Sister Mary Louise Sullivan, a Sister of Charity of Leavenworth who served Saint Mary for 45 years as a professor and dean. The Sullivan Award is given to a full-time faculty member nominated by students, faculty, and staff as a person who "has made a distinct difference in the teaching climate at the University of Saint Mary."
The ceremony will feature performances by the University/Community Band and Concert Chorale.
Tickets are not required for entrance into McGilley Field House. The ceremony will be broadcasted through USM's YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/live/HmzaSMKFu0A?si=gqWXR-IqRBxrcJWP
