Nearly 60 members of The University of Scranton’s class of 2022 participated in the Jesuit school’s Donning of the Stole Ceremony. The annual ceremony celebrates and honors the accomplishments of members of its class of 2022 from underrepresented identities who received their undergraduate degrees. The purpose of the ceremony, which was a student-led initiative, was to highlight the students’ success in overcoming the particular barriers and obstacles faced by students from these groups, particularly students of color, in attaining a higher education.

 More than 70 percent of Scranton’s class of 2022 Stole recipients made the Dean’s List at Scranton.
