Seton Hill University graduated 221 students during its May 10, 2008 commencement exercises. The Seton Hill Class of 2008, to date, numbers 365, with one last graduation ceremony, for the Master of Arts in Writing Popular Fiction, scheduled for late June.

Michele M. Ridge, chair of Seton Hill’s board of directors, presided over the commencement ceremonies held in the Salvitti Gymnasium of the Katherine Mabis McKenna Center on Seton Hill’s Greensburg, Pennsylvania campus. Dr. Mary Ann Gawelek, provost and dean of the faculty, presented the candidates for degrees, and Dr. JoAnne Boyle, Seton Hill president, conferred the degrees. William “Red” Whittaker, Fredkin Professor of Robotics of the Robotics Institute, director of the Field Robotics Center, and founder and chief scientist of the Robotics Engineering Consortium, all at Carnegie Mellon University, served as commencement speaker, and received an honorary Doctor of Science degree from Seton Hill. Diane Samuels, an internationally acclaimed artist based in Pittsburgh, received an honorary Doctor of Fine Arts degree, and her husband, Henry Reese, who co-founded (with wife Diane) City of Asylum/Pittsburgh, received an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree from Seton Hill. The Most Reverend Lawrence E. Brandt, Bishop of Greensburg, delivered the blessing to conclude the ceremonies.
