Sixteen of those in the crowd were there to support Alexa Bell of Cumberland, Rhode Island, who was collecting bachelor\u2019s degrees in public health and economics. Bell, who plans to take a gap year to study for her LSAT exams and apply to law school, said commencement caps 16 years of school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGraduation and earning these degrees is a celebration of not only my hard work but of my parents\u2019 hard work and all the support I have received throughout my education, from first grade to now,\u201d said Bell, lining up with her fellow graduates in the hallways of the Ryan Center before the ceremony. \u201cI loved the community I gained through 溏心vlog免费B站, as well as the immense support of faculty and staff.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Catherine Quesnelle of Bristol, Rhode Island, and Riley Maffia of Allentown, New Jersey, both graduates of the pharmaceutical sciences program, said they liked the program\u2019s close-knit environment and how it has prepared them for jobs in the regulatory and policy side of the pharmaceutical industry.<\/p>\n\n\n
