Roth replaces Mast as morning commencement speaker
With Congress preparing to go into session later this month, State Rep. Rick Roth has been tapped to replace U.S. Rep. Brian Mast as speaker at the morning commencement 
ceremony Dec. 19 for graduates of the Associate in Science, Bachelor of Applied Science and Bachelor of Science degree programs and the certificate programs. The session was moved due to the passing of President George H.W. Bush.
The ceremony begins at 9:30 a.m. at the South Florida Fair Expo Center in West Palm Beach. Roth, a Palm Beach County native, was re-elected in November to a second term to represent District 85. He is the owner of Roth Farms.
PBSC is holding two ceremonies for the more than 3,000 fall graduates. State Rep. Matt Willhite, a PBSC alumnus, will speak at the 2 p.m. ceremony for graduates of the Associate in Arts transfer degree. Both ceremonies will be streamed live at www.palmbeachstate.edu.
