MOUNT VERNON, IA (05/23/2017)-- Family, friends, and graduates gathered on May 14, Mother's Day Sunday, to celebrate the Class of 2017 during Cornell College's 159th annual Commencement.

The college conferred degrees on 216 students, including Kaylin Voss with a major in English - Creative Writing Concentration.

Cornell College's picturesque campus is located in Mount Vernon, Iowa. One of the "Colleges That Change Lives," Cornell College is a national liberal arts college with a distinctive One Course At A Time curriculum. Students take one class for 18 days, which provides students the chance to dive into their studies and focus more intensely on the classes of their choice. Cornellians learn with the unique freedom to shed the confines of the traditional classroom-studying off-campus, pursuing research, or accepting an internship-all without missing out on other classes.

With a student body from 45 states and 20 foreign countries, and renowned visiting speakers, faculty, and entertainers, Cornell offers the world from its hilltop campus.
