The Class of 2019 is the final graduating class of the first century of the founding of the Pennsylvania State College of Optometry (PSCO), later renamed Pennsylvania College of Optometry (PCO).
During this year’s commencement, the university bestowed doctoral and master’s degrees in physician assistant studies, audiology, blindness and low vision studies, biomedicine, occupational therapy and clinical optometry with an International Advanced Studies certificate.
The keynote speaker was Pennsylvania Sen. Maria Collett, who represents the 12th District across parts of Montgomery and Bucks counties in suburban Philadelphia. Collett, who served as deputy attorney general in Camden County, N.J., and then transitioned into a career in nursing working as a Level I trauma nurse in pediatric home health and long-term care working with aging adults before she successfully ran for public office, challenged the students to develop a vision for their futures.
Salus president Michael H. Mittelman, OD, MPH, LDH (Hon.), MBA, also challenged the students to embrace the opportunities given to them.
