Transylvania University is celebrating its Class of 2026 this week with a variety of events culminating with Saturday\u2019s commencement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This graduating class has excelled with 56% earning Latin honors (3.5 GPA or higher) and 58% with honors in their individual programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of this year\u2019s seniors, around 60% are going to grad school either this fall or following a gap year, and 40% plan to join the workforce in a variety of roles \u2014 from media to finance to computer science to the military. Two of them are serving in the Peace Corps<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2026 student commencement speaker is Kate Polson, an education and social change major double-minoring in philosophy and creative writing. Polson, who plans to attend law school after graduation, has served as chief of staff for the Student Government Association, a writer for The Rambler and Writing Center staffer. She is from Glasgow, Kentucky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this week leading up to the ceremony, the campus community is recognizing these graduates with events including Thursday\u2019s Senior Toast, Friday\u2019s Last Lecture with professor Tiffany Wheeler, an awards ceremony and a reception with their families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
