Spring 2024 Commencement Ceremonies
This Spring’s Commencement Ceremonies were a momentous occasion, especially for SNHU’s President Dr. Paul J. LeBlanc as they were his final ceremonies after 21 years of transformational leadership. With his vision to make higher education more accessible, more than 200,000 students across the globe have earned their degrees during LeBlanc's tenure at SNHU.
SNHU's Spring Class of 2024 celebrated 16,800 graduates from all 50 states and 49 countries, ranging in age from 15 to 80 years old, including 1,876 military-affiliated learners. Whether celebrating at one of four in-person ceremonies on May 4-5 or virtually on May 25, the newest members of the SNHU alumni community join a growing worldwide network of more than 244,000.
