On May 10, 2010, graduates, family, friends, faculty and staff gathered to say "Well done!" to adult learners who found a way to fit their college education into their lives. 142 people shared in the celebration at the annual Spotlight on Achievement banquet held for graduates each May by the Edward R. Murphy Center for Continuing Education and Distance Learning at Elizabethtown College.

President Theordore Long, Provost Susan Traverso, Dean John Kokolus and Whitney Stock spoke at the event. Whitney is a 2010 graduate of the accelerated program. She shared her experiences in finishing her degree, her gratitude to her family and friends, and an inspiring message to the graduates for their future.
