Eureka College Announces the Spring 2026 Graduates

 

EUREKA, IL. - Eureka College is proud to announce the Spring 2026 graduates. The Eureka College commencement ceremony on Saturday, May 9, 2026, included 79 students.

 

The graduates along with family and friends heard an inspiring speech from Ms. Anna Palmer, Co-founder and Owner of the Boston Legacy Football Club, Eureka College Board Member, and Alumna ’07.

 

Mr. Nick Knoblach, a 2009 Eureka College graduate and Product Development Manager at Invesco, provided a welcome from the College Alumni Association and Ms. Jaden Randall, President of the Class of 2026 and Ms. Katherine Fontaine, Vice President, shared final thoughts and encouragement to the class.

 

The graduates are from 44 Illinois communities, ten states (AZ, CA, CO, ID, IN, KS, MI, NC, TX, and WI), and two countries (Philippines and South Africa).

 

Seven local communities had multiple graduates. Washington had the most with 7, followed by Peoria (5), East Peoria (3), Pekin (3), Quincy (3), Manito (2), Metamora (2), Morton (2), AND Springfield (2).

 

Seven graduates will complete their academic career in August and some of those walked in Saturday’s commencement ceremony.

 

Eureka College provides photos of the commencement ceremony for all graduates and families at https://eurekacollege.smugmug.com/Spring-2026-Commencement
