Kent State University at Trumbull graduate and student commencement speaker Achante Pascute’s path to graduation was anything but traditional.

While earning her nursing degree, she balanced coursework, clinicals and multiple jobs while living in a camper without running water, heat or air conditioning. This spring, she graduated Summa Cum Laude at the top of her class and will begin her career as a cardiovascular ICU nurse at Cleveland Clinic.

“Progress doesn’t require perfect conditions,” she told fellow graduates. “You just have to keep showing up.”

Behind every graduate is a support system that helps make the journey possible.

Graduation is more than a diploma or a walk across a stage, it is the reflection of love and support of family. Watch Lillian and her proud parents talk about this well-earned accomplishment! Congratulations to the entire class of 2026. 💙🎓
