Commencement is an exciting time for the entire PennWest community – as it marks one of the final stages in a student’s academic journey and also the beginning of the future. On Dec. 14, we will celebrate the Class of 2024 with celebrations at each of our campuses of California, Clarion and Edinboro.

The power of PennWest is in its people and the three guests on the show today have epitomized the strength, determination and vision it takes to be successful at this level. Rachel Kister, from Clarion, Courtney Keisling, from California, and Ellie Keating, representing Edinboro, have been selected by their campus communities to deliver the student addresses for the PennWest commencement ceremonies.

In today’s episode, each student will preview their message to campus and share a little insight into their journey at PennWest.
