Sophia Bates graduates this month with a bachelor’s degree in corporate communication and minors in biology and communication arts and sciences. An accomplished student, Bates has made the most of her experience at Penn State Schuylkill. As an undergraduate researcher who’s earned several accolades and co-authored papers in peer-reviewed communication journals, Bates is ready to take on her next chapter — a two-year graduate program in communication and advocacy with a concentration in health communication at James Madison University.
Antonio Rivas came to Penn State Schuylkill with a goal in mind—to advance his career within the military. Rivas will earn his bachelor’s degree in project and supply chain management in May, and hopes to be accepted into Officer Candidate School so he can move toward his dream of being a commissioned officer.
