TWO GRADUATE
WITH HONORS
Two local residents were among the graduates of The University of Scranton’s Honors Program. Students in the Honors Program pursue a rigorous education that stresses independent work through close engagement with professors and other honors students, including the preparation, presentation and defense of a research or creative project during their senior year.
Local residents graduating from the program are Cory Templeton, of Trucksville, a biochemistry, cell and molecular biology major and Class or 2014 graduate of the Honors Program, magna cum laude; and Paul Van Loon, of Dallas, a biophysics major and a lass of 2014 graduate of the Honors Program, cum laude.
