2017 Commencement Celebrates Â鶹ֱ²¥ Students!
More than a hundred Â鶹ֱ²¥ faculty and staff attended the 2017 Commencement Ceremony at the Â鶹ֱ²¥ Convention Center.
Approximately 75 Deans and faculty members comprised an honor guard.
Family and friends of the graduates cheered, applauded and even shed tears as the newest Â鶹ֱ²¥ alumni walked across the stage to receive commendation and a handshake from Minnesota State Chancellor Steven Rosenstone and Â鶹ֱ²¥ President Sharon Pierce as well as several Â鶹ֱ²¥ executives, outgoing Student Senate President Joe Amrhein and student speaker Jewlene Bellamy.
The processional and recessional were provided by the Â鶹ֱ²¥ Chamber and Jazz Ensemble under the direction of Yolanda Y. Williams, Instructor of Music. Dr. Elizabeth Pauly and the Â鶹ֱ²¥ Choir provided a special musical presentation.
Plan now to attend next year's Commencement on May 14, 2018.
