During his keynote remarks, Underwood told the new graduates not just to follow their dreams, but to chase them down.
Other remarks were given by Ann Williams, chancellor of Penn State Lehigh Valley; Paige Pleiss, student marshal; and Mary Hutchinson, chair of Penn State Lehigh Valley Faculty Senate, who introduced the featured speaker.

After the presentation of the candidates and conferring of degrees, the graduates were inducted into the Penn State Alumni Association by Christopher Bodgen, president of the Penn State Lehigh Valley Alumni Association.
The campus used #psulvgrad on its Twitter, Instagram and Facebook platforms throughout the event to celebrate the festivities.
