MOLINE, Illinois — Hundreds of St. Ambrose University students celebrated their graduation at a commencement ceremony. 689 degrees were conferred, including 501 bachelor's degrees, 187 master's degrees and one doctoral degree.

Shelby Leemans earned her bachelor's degree in Psychology. She plans to attend medical school following undergraduate degree. She has called SAU home for the last four years. The commencement ceremony didn't come without mixed feelings for Leemans.

"I'm really excited for it to start, I am really nervous for it to end. I don't think I can deal with walking away from this school but I am really looking forward to finally saying that I did it, and all of our friends we did it together."

The ceremony took place at 1 p.m. at the I Wireless Center in Moline on Saturday, May 13 2016.
