Wells College celebrates 156th and final commencement (photos)
Aurora, N.Y.--An off-and-on drizzle made it hard to distinguish the tears from raindrops during the final commencement ceremony at Wells College on Saturday, May 18, 2024. The final diploma was handed out after the school’s financial struggles of 15 years finally forced the 156-year-old liberal arts college to close its doors. Students requested the president of the school, Jonathan Gibraltar, to take a back seat for commencement activities for this final ceremony, said spokesperson Kristopher LaGreca, VP of Marketing and Communications at the school, and that is just what he did, as the popular and close-knit faculty were front and center much to the graduates’ glee.
