Seton Hill University honored 183 students during its spring commencement exercises on May 14, 2005.

Michele M. Ridge, chairman of Seton Hill's board of directors, presided over the first commencement ceremonies to be held in the Katherine Mabis McKenna Center on Seton Hill's campus. Dr. Mary Ann Gawelek, vice president of academic affairs and dean of the University, presented the candidates for degrees, and Dr. JoAnne Boyle, Seton Hill president, conferred the degrees. Charisse Lillie, J.D., vice president of Human Resources for Comcast Corporation, addressed the graduating class. Charisse Lillie also received an honorary Doctor of Laws during the ceremonies, while her mother, Dr. Vernell Lillie, founder and artistic director of Kuntu Repertory Theatre, received an honorary Doctor of Fine Arts from Seton Hill. (This is the first time in Seton Hill's history that a mother and daughter received honorary degrees during the same commencement ceremony.) The Most Reverend Lawrence E. Brandt, Bishop of Greensburg, delivered the blessing to conclude the ceremonies.

See list below for a breakdown of the graduates and their degrees, by home residence.

Many of Seton Hill's graduating seniors also received special honors during Seton Hill's spring Honors Convocation held May 13, 2005. Students' honors are noted following their majors in the list below.
