Bethlehem, Pa., May 12, 2006—Moravian College will hold commencement
ceremonies on Saturday, May 13, beginning at 10:00 a.m., in the outdoor quadrangle behind
the Haupert Union Building. The ceremony will conclude the 264th academic year at Moravian,
America’s sixth-oldest college. In the event of rain, the program will be held
in Johnston Hall.
The College will present an honorary doctorate to three individuals who
have been central to Moravian’s success during the past decade: Betsey Tait Puth,
a distinguished alumna and life trustee of Moravian College; Dr. Ervin J. Rokke, president
of Moravian College and Moravian Theological Seminary; and Pamela Rokke, wife of Moravian’s
president.
In honor of a longstanding Moravian College tradition, the graduating class
recently elected a faculty member and a student to speak at the commencement ceremony.
Dr. Gary Olson has been selected to give the Statement to the Graduates. Todd William
Bennett (Annendale, New Jersey), class of 2006, will deliver the Statement of the Bachelor's
Graduates. Carolyn Elliott Evans (Easton, Pa.), a candidate for the M.Ed., was selected
to deliver the Statement of the Master’s Graduates.
