Park University will hold its spring commencement ceremony at 11 a.m. on Saturday, May 7 at the Community of Christ Auditorium, located at 1001 West Walnut Street, Independence, Mo.

During the ceremony, Park University will award 73 graduate degrees and 309 undergraduate degrees to students.

For the first time in history, Park University has asked a student, Ergys Prenika, to present the commencement address. Originally from Tirana, Albania, Prenika arrived in the Kansas City area in January 2001 as an exchange student and attended Bishop Miege High School. After graduating in May 2001 with honors and 4.0 grade point average, he began researching for a local university that would fit his academic inspirations for international business. In September 2001, he enrolled at Park University, and he will graduate with dual bachelor's degrees in international business and finance at the commencement ceremony. Ergys is currently an intern production manager for The Roasterie, inc., a local coffee company.
