HARRISBURG, Pa. - Shohei Takagiwa wanted more than anything to see his three friends graduate from college, but he couldn't travel halfway around the world from his native Japan to Northampton Community College in Bethlehem.

So Takagiwa, a 2006 alumnus, did the next best thing.

He logged onto his computer to watch a live Internet broadcast of the May 24 evening ceremony for the 1,177 graduates — the college's first commencement Webcast.
