Wayne State College awarded its first Associate of General Studies degrees on May 9 at its undergraduate commencement ceremony as part of its ReEngage Program, which is designed to help students with some college credit but no degree return to complete a degree or credential.
Wayne State conferred a total of 76 Associate of General Studies degrees, with six students walking across the Willow Bowl stage to receive their credential, which they earned by completing more than 70 credit hours at Wayne State before stopping out for a variety of reasons.
Students who participated in the commencement ceremony on May 9 included Emily Faith Hein of Lee’s Summit, Missouri, Ezra Elliott Jude of West Point, Samantha June Coffin of Vermillion, South Dakota, Bennett John Lamplot of Thurston, Courtney Elise Neill of Little Sioux, Iowa, and Michael Paul Pierick of Whiting, Iowa.
Participating students receive individualized coaching designed to help them clarify their goals, rebuild confidence, overcome logistical and financial barriers, reestablish a connection to the college community, and ultimately overcome obstacles to returning.
