WYOMISSING, Pa. While it was a winding road to graduation for Jake Cumens, it led him to a destination that exceeded his expectations. He will graduate as one of two student marshals from Penn State Berks on Saturday, May 8, with a bachelor of science degree in electro-mechanical engineering technology (EMET). Then in the fall, he will begin his studies at Lappeenranta–Lahti University of Technology (LUT University) in Finland, where he was awarded a full scholarship to earn his master’s degree in mechanical engineering.
Cumens, of Honey Brook, was not planning to major in engineering when he began his studies at Delaware County Community College. He explained that he had a lot of interests, and initially planned to earn a liberal arts degree in music composition. He later shifted his focus to earning a degree in foreign language, as he was already learning several languages on his own.
