Mass exodus means college is ending

It’s that time of year again. Fredonia State University students are either preparing to head home for the summer or they are participating in commencement ceremonies this weekend at Steele Hall.

Our local university, which has an enrollment of about 5,200, has come a long way. Years ago, there was one ceremony for the graduating seniors. In the past five years, however, the classes have become so large that there are now two commencements.

Our congrats to the graduates who will be in ceremonies on May 17 and thanks for being a part of our wonderful area.
