29 Massachusetts students who shine

Thousands of students will graduate from Massachusetts colleges and universities this month. The students in this gallery have been singled out for the state's 29 Who Shine awards. The awards honor students from Massachusetts community colleges, state universities and UMass for academic achievement and community service. Among this year's honorees are five veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the first female firefighter in Holyoke's history, and multiple students who are the first in their families to graduate from college. Governor Deval Patrick will honor the 29 Who Shine winners during a State House ceremony on May 10.
