Congratulations Fall 2024 grads! We celebrated over 1,300 students from Eastern Kentucky University during five commencement ceremonies held on Dec. 5 and 6, 2024, at the EKU Center for the Arts. Friends, families, classmates, faculty, staff and members of the EKU community came together to celebrate the achievements of graduates from the university’s six academic colleges. This class represents 98 counties in Kentucky, 39 states and 13 countries! The top degrees awarded included psychology, criminal justice, nursing, occupational safety, and aviation. Of the Fall 2024 graduates, 49% were first-gen.
Graduates, you are now officially an Eternal Colonel! As you step into this exciting new chapter, continue to carry with you the transformative values instilled at EKU and showcase your excellence. Relive your ceremony’s amazing moments captured by University Photographer Ben Keeling.
