ABINGTON, Pa. — Rain supposedly brings good luck on wedding days, so if the same applies to graduation, the Penn State Abington class of 2016 — the largest in the campus' history — may be its luckiest. The daylong downpour didn’t diminish the joy as families, friends and the campus community celebrated:

• 380 new graduates;
• Five valedictorians;
• Fifty-five students who graduated with honors or in the top 12 percent of their class, the most in Abington history;
• The first group to leave with bachelor’s degrees from the Penn State College of Engineering while remaining in the Philadelphia area;
• Four students earned concurrent degrees in business plus either corporate communication, information sciences and technology, and two students in accounting;
• Five Schreyer Honors College medal recipients.​

In addition to academic bragging rights, the class of 2016 included:

• Two pairs of brothers and two pairs of twin sisters;
• Elizabeth Janoski, who took home $50,000 on "Wheel of Fortune College Road Trip" a few weeks ago;
• Two students who will be commissioned as second lieutenants in the Army this month;
• A group of student-athletes who were the first to compete for Abington as an NCAA Division III member for four years.​
