In addition, 154 self-identified students with disabilities received degrees.
A total of 116 students earning associate degrees were recognized May 19 at the Wells Cultural Center on the Rock County campus in Janesville.
A total of 215 students participated in the university’s Hired Before Graduation campaign, which celebrates students who landed a job, earned a job promotion, were accepted to graduate school, or started their own business before commencement.
Editor’s note: It is likely that the majority of these students have not been long-term Whitewater residents. They have, however, been registered with the university with Whitewater addresses.
