Senior class marshals Justin Michael Cole and Katherine L. Lewinski will carry the Class of 2011 banner to open Syracuse University’s 157th Commencement ceremony on Sunday, May 15, and continue a longstanding tradition by representing their class on this special occasion.

Cole, of Watertown, N.Y., is a policy studies, economics and political science triple major in The College of Arts and Sciences. Lewinski, of Cumberland, R.I., is a double major in international relations and policy studies in The College of Arts and Sciences.
