Conferring of Degrees

ONE HUNDRED AND SECOND ANNUAL CONFERRING OF DEGREES

Saturday, August Fifteenth, Two Thousand and Twenty | 1:00 P.M. | Virtual Event About the VIRTUAL COMMENCEMENT CEREMONY

During its One Hundred and Second Commencement Ceremony on August 15, 2020, nearly 800 students will celebrate earning degrees from Marywood University during its virtual Commencement ceremony, made necessary by safety restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Marywood University’s three colleges, including the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Health and Human Services, and the College of Professional Studies, proudly recognize the achievements of the students who are receiving degrees in undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral studies. Class of 2020 graduates hail from 23 states and eight countries.

When the conferring of degrees occurs, the names of graduates of the Class of 2020 will be read in alphabetical order, not according to the College, the program, or the degree to which they belong. The name and degree of each graduating student will be listed on the slide when the student’s name is read.

In addition to today’s celebration, plan now to be a special part of our 2021 Commencement Ceremony on Saturday, May 15, 2021, in the Mohegan Sun Arena, when we will gather as a community for a double celebration, with a special salute to the exceptional Class of 2020!

2 THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES THE PRESIDENT AND FACULTY OF MARYWOOD UNIVERSITY SALUTE

Ryan Leckey, Ph.D.

On this fifteenth day of August, two thousand and twenty, Marywood University is pleased to honor Dr. Ryan Leckey for his award-winning creativity and accomplishments in broadcast and digital media and for his outstanding fundraising endeavors on behalf of children and adults with disabilities.

Known for his never-ending energy and innovative media contributions, Dr. Leckey has been a morning show television personality for two decades, focusing on topics such as health and fitness and “news you can use” for a wide audience, all jam packed with his enthusiastic personality. He is a five- time Mid-Atlantic Region Emmy Nominee, a three-time Pennsylvania Association of Broadcasters award recipient, and was named “Best Local TV Personality” by Electric City Magazine for several years. His other awards and accolades include being named a “Hometown Hero” by the Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce and “Outstanding Young Pennsylvanian” by the Commonwealth Jaycees organization for his dedication to so many charitable causes.

He is best known in Pennsylvania for creating non-traditional television and for engaging the community through his morning show segment, called Leckey Live, which airs weekdays on WNEP-TV, one of America’s highest-rated ABC television stations. A respected social media influencer, he dominates more than 80 percent of the social media market in Northeastern and Central Pennsylvania. Between his on-air and online content, Dr. Leckey currently reaches more than a million people each week. In addition, he leads many special project initiatives at regional corporations and institutions.

He brings that same energetic enthusiasm to the classroom. Dr. Leckey, who earned his Ph.D. in Strategic Leadership and Administrative Studies from Marywood University this year, taught media- related courses at Marywood for five years. His expertise, as well as his dissertation focus, is social media’s effects on men. Dr. Leckey holds a master’s degree in communication arts, with a concentration in media management, from Marywood. He earned his undergraduate degree in communication arts with a minor in public relations and advertising from the University of Pittsburgh.

Additionally, Dr. Leckey is a force in the world of fundraising. Since 2009, he has helped raise nearly $4 million dollars to assist people with disabilities as part of the charity campaign he chairs, called “WNEP’s Ryan’s Run,” which benefits Allied Services in Northeastern and Central Pennsylvania.

It is fitting, therefore, that Marywood University, whose own mission of education and service is long-standing, should salute Dr. Ryan Leckey, whose life and energies have been so completely dedicated to these pursuits.

Sister Mary Persico, IHM, Ed.D. President of Marywood University
