About 1,300 students graduated at the USA Mitchell Center Saturday, May 9th, 2009. If you add that to the number who graduated in the winter, it's the largest number of diplomas in one academic year. Students say they'll have to work on new challenges now that school's over

“We have a lot of student loans because we've been in school for so long I guess the hard thing is trying to pay those back on a resident's salary trying to budget through all of that,” says Medical School Graduate Erica Manogue. Students say graduation day is a big relief and a payoff for all those years of work.
