Truckee Meadows Community College recently issued the following announcement.
While TMCC's Dandini Campus has had a quiet week following final exams, on Friday May 20, the Student Center hosted over 500 graduates and their families in a hybrid, walk-through ceremony. Graduating students were invited to cross the commencement stage, while their family and friends had "front row" photo opportunities in front of the stage. Lines of students with their families stretched beyond the Student Center and, at times, past the Sierra Building, each waiting their turn to cross the stage, completing one step on their academic and professional journeys.
Graduates honored in this ceremony included students who earned a certificate or degree in Fall 2021, Spring 2022 and Summer 2022. The numbers are impressive; students honored include:
- 1,397 associate degrees
