It was a class act.
Thousands of Kings County scholars
celebrated the culmination of years
of study at a massive commencement
ceremony at Barclays Center on May
14, where friends and family gathered
to cheer on their loved ones as they paraded
onto the arena’s massive stage.
“It was a meaningful day,” said Angelina
Pereyra, who earned her masters
degree in psychology, and shook
hands with the Long Island University
President Dr. Kimberly Cline as her
mother, father, brother, and best friend
applauded from the stands.
The huge LIU commencement featured
more than 2,300 graduating students,
including 1,005 baccalaureates,
9,478 masters, and 249 new doctors,
who doled out high-fi ves and praise to
their fellow graduates for their scholastic
achievements amid a ceremony
that managed to wrap up after only
two hours despite its massive size.
The students were not awarded
their diplomas during the event — the
logistics, according to one student,
would have been a nightmare — but
the college grads look forward to receiving
them in the mail sometime
soon.
LIU Professor of Pharmacy Dr.
Spiridon Spireas — proud owner of 130
patents and patent-publications, and
hundreds of scientifi c papers, along
with a few books — served as keynote
speaker for the event.
Spireas was joined by Dr. Naif Al-
Mutawa, founder of The Soor Center
for Professional Therapy and Assessment
in Kuwait, with a Ph.D. in Clinical
Psychology from LIU. He is also author
of “The 99,” a comic book about a
superhero team with special abilities
based on the 99 attributes of Allah.
