Walsh University has celebrated its 2026 commencement ceremonies, honouring nearly 600 graduates from 26 states and 14 countries.
The ceremonies were held on Saturday, May 2, 2026, at the Gaetano M Cecchini Family Health and Wellness Complex in North Canton, Ohio.
Dr Tim Collins, Walsh University’s seventh president, addressed graduates on the purpose of Catholic education.
“Your formation as men and women of character is the primary end of Catholic education – your Walsh University experience,” he said. “The secondary end is the formation of useful citizens. Your greatest achievement will forever be marked not by what you do – but by what you do for others.”
