“They found not just a place to go to college, but a home, a support system, a place to belong and to be their authentic selves…and yes, a community.” Vice President for Outreach Larry Terry shared the stories of Arabi Chavira and Karli Ulmer during his commencement speech at Penn State Schuylkill—two students from different places and with different personalities, brought together as roommates and connected by shared ambition and resilience. From courtroom experiences to coroner internships, their time at Penn State Schuylkill was shaped by opportunity, mentorship, and meaningful relationships that turned campus into something more. Their journeys reflect what’s possible when students are empowered to be themselves and supported every step of the way. Congratulations to the Class of 2025—you are the future, and we can’t wait to see what you build next. #WeAre #PSUgrad
