(KAIR)--Following last weekend's Commencement exercises at Benedictine College, the Atchison-based institution announces that a new graduation record has been set.

That's due to what a release says was a record 485 seniors who walked across the stage during the May 11 ceremonies.

Along with the overall number of graduates, the 2024 Commencement also featured a record number of Valedictorians, with five graduating students granted that honor.
