MAHWAH, N.J. — May 15 was an extra special day for Richard Sensbach of Vernon. In an afternoon ceremony at the Bergen County Administration Building in Hackensack, Sensbach was among 11 military veterans honored during the annual Military Appreciation Month Ceremony. Later that evening, he received his degree during Ramapo College’s 2015 Commencement ceremony at Prudential Center in Newark.

“All of this is really overwhelming,” said Sensbach, a political science major with a minor in international business. “I’m so proud to be here, and I’m excited about [the commencement] ceremony. It’s been a lot of work but definitely worth it.”

Sensbach joined the United States Air Force upon graduation from Kinnelon High School in 2006. He was a member of security forces and was stationed domestically in North Dakota and Colorado before deploying to South Korea, Iraq and Afghanistan. He enrolled in Ramapo College in 2011.
