As the spring semester came to a close last week, over 800 Lynn University students completed associates, bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees.
Although Lynn had to postpone the originally scheduled May 9 commencement ceremony due to restrictions on large-scale events, the students who worked so hard for this moment didn’t go unnoticed.
Today, Lynn announced that Jayla Hall ’20 and Phillip Treiber ’20 will address the Class of 2020 as student speakers at the future rescheduled commencement ceremony.
Jayla Hall, Bachelor of Arts
As a multimedia journalism major, Jayla Hall served as a writer for iPulse, senior editor for the Her Campus media site, resident assistant, peer mentor and student assistant in Campus Recreation.
In addition to her extensive involvement with clubs and organizations on campus, Hall was accepted into Lynn’s Ambassador Corps which led her to help underprivileged children in Cordoba, Colombia. Hall has been recognized as a Millennium Fellow—an opportunity provided by the United Nations Academic Impact and Millennium Campus Network—and served as a student representative at the 2020 IMPACT National Conference. Next, Hall will return to Lynn this fall to complete her MBA in marketing.
Phillip Treiber, Master of Science
Phillip Treiber, who studied clinical mental health counseling, comes with an impressive background in both scholarship and practical experience. In 2019, with a team of Lynn students, Treiber presented a research paper at the Association for Counselor Education and Supervision conference in Seattle, Washington. The group plans to prepare the research for potential journal publication.
Treiber has also held various clinical positions at local facilities and has trained in multiple treatment modalities. After graduation, Treiber plans to become a licensed mental health counselor in Florida.
