About 220 seniors received their diplomas during graduation ceremonies Saturday at Bryan College.

Of that total, 136 are graduates from the School of Arts and Sciences (A&S), the traditional Bryan College program, and 84 are from the School of Adult and Graduate Studies (AGS), which includes both MBA and Bachelor of Science degree candidates.

Joel Peckman, a communication studies/corporate communications major from Chambersburg, Pa., gave the commencement address for the A&S graduation.

In addition to recognizing the graduates, the college also conferred an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree on Augustine Asir, founder of Word for the World ministry in India, a long-time partner with Bryan.

Although originally planned as an outside ceremony on the Triangle, graduation was moved into Rudd Auditorium due to rain.
