York College President Dr. Thomas Burns will deliver the Commencement Address, offering inspiration to the Class of 2024 as they embark on the next chapter of their lives.

Dr. Alison Kennicutt, the Faculty Speaker and recipient of the Presidential Award for Teaching and Mentoring Excellence, will share additional remarks. Representing the graduating class, Omar Castro, a Business Administration major, will serve as the Student Speaker.

In addition to recognizing the graduates' achievements, York College will honor two retiring faculty members, Dr. Barbara Hanbury and Dr. Dennis Weiss, for their years of dedication and service to the institution.
