Commencement 2019

Knox College Commencement 2019

Here are some other highlights from Commencement:

  • This year’s graduating class was the first in recent memory in which some bachelor of science degrees were awarded. Thanks to a new option available to Knox students, about 30 members of the Class of 2019 earned a bachelor of science. The rest earned a bachelor of arts.
  • 110 seniors graduated with Latin honors (summa cum laude, magna cum laude, or cum laude).
  • 11 members of the Class of 2019 earned College Honors for advanced independent study projects that were evaluated by a select committee and that produced a major piece of research or creative work.  

Sunday's Commencement exercises capped off several days of events honoring the achievements of members of the Class of 2019. Other activities included Senior Pumphandle; the Senior Toast and lunch with Knox faculty; a dessert reception hosted by President Amott; additional receptions for first-generation graduates, recipients of senior prizes and awards, and Phi Beta Kappa inductees; an interfaith baccalaureate service; and a fireworks display.
