Stevenson’s School of Graduate and Professional Studies Holds First Commencement
Stevenson University’s School of Graduate and Professional Studies held its first separate commencement on Thursday, May 14, 2009, at 7 p.m. in the Gymnasium on Stevenson’s Greenspring Campus. The keynote speaker was Allen Schiff, forensic accountant and managing member of Schiff & Associates, LLC, a Towson-based business management firm. Schiff is a long-time supporter of the University’s Forensic Studies program and serves as a member of the program’s Forensic Studies Advisory Committee.
The University granted 103 degrees this spring to graduate and professional students as well as to students in accelerated undergraduate programs. Traditionally, Stevenson’s graduate and accelerated degree students graduated with the University’s seniors.
“This is our largest graduating class, and this is the first time we held commencement exercises specifically for our graduate students and our undergraduates in accelerated programs,” said Joyce Becker, Dean of the School of Graduate and Professional Studies.
