NEW KENSINGTON, Pa. — Eighty-two Penn State students will earn their baccalaureate and associate degrees on May 4 at Penn State New Kensington’s 62nd commencement ceremony.
Sherri McCleary, director, business development-additive manufacturing at Kennametal, will deliver the commencement address. McCleary is currently responsible for driving growth opportunities that leverage additive manufacturing (3D printing) technologies in the company's markets and applications for high-performance wear materials and components. Prior to joining Kennametal, she spent more than 30 years with Alcoa, then Arconic, working in all levels of technology development and leadership. She holds several U.S. and foreign patents and received R&D Magazine’s “R&D 100” award for one of the 100 most technologically-significant new products in 2014.
McCleary holds a bachelor of science in chemistry from Gannon University and an master of science in material and surface science from Carnegie Mellon University. She has a strong passion for mentoring and for connecting people and technology to deliver value. She also is a partner with Penn State New Kensington to create opportunities for students and the local community surrounding the fourth industrial revolution, known by some as “Industry 4.0,” a term used to define the upcoming digital age.
