Potsdam resident Jessica Weirich recently received a UG Communications Design degree from New York City's Pratt Institute.

Celebrated artist and Pratt alumna Kay WalkingStick delivered the commencement address.

Honorary degrees were awarded to WalkingStick, doctor of fine arts; Adam D. Weinberg, Alice Pratt Brown director of the Whitney Museum of American Art, doctor of humane letters; and painter and Pratt alumnus Terry Winters, doctor of fine arts at the ceremony.
