Utah State University Uintah Basin held its 2024 graduation services on Saturday full of celebration and fanfare. The class of 2024 consists of 137 individuals earning 60 associate’s, 56 bachelor’s, 29 master’s degrees, and four undergraduate certificates. The graduation ceremony was held at the Uintah Conference Center in Vernal. John Michalski, who graduated with a master’s degree in geosciences from the College of Science, addressed the audience as the student speaker. He shared that his acceptance to the master’s program at USU opened up his world to incredible experiences from digging up dinosaurs to delving into prehistoric history. Former USU executive vice president and chief operating officer Robert Wagner, USU President Elizabeth Cantwell, and president of the USU Foundation Matthew White each spoke to the crowd as well. It was a wonderful celebration of the USU Uintah Basin graduates.
