According to a release, Widener Law recently held commencement exercises for its 38th graduating class on its campus in Wilmington, Del.

The 310 graduates included Sabah Kazmi, of Bensalem, PA, (19020) who received a Master of Jurisprudence in Corporate & Business Law degree.

Widener University President James T. Harris III told graduates their communities, their nation and democracy in general need them to speak out, particularly on behalf of those who cannot speak for themselves.

"Graduates of the class of 2012, speak out and make the world a better place," Harris said. "Speak out and you'll raise the stature of this institution with your words and your actions."
