Commencement
Messiah College celebrated its 106th Commencement ceremony on Saturday, May 16, 2015, at Shoemaker Field. With more than 6,000 guests in attendance, Messiah conferred degrees on 734 graduates (635 graduating seniors and 99 master's program graduates to be exact). It was a beautiful, sunny day to commemorate the Class of 2015 as Messiah's newest alumni!
