St. Clair County Community College’s 93rd annual Commencement ceremony Friday, May 5, honored graduating students in numerous associate degree and certificate programs.
There were 683 students eligible to graduate.
SC4 students earned associate degrees in arts, science, general education, engineering, business, and applied arts and science.
Graduates included students from the Blue Water Middle College Academy and the Croswell-Lexington Early College.
These students take college classes in addition to their high school classes and graduate with both their high school diplomas and an associate degree from SC4 in five years.
The event at McMorran Place Main Arena in Port Huron featured Dr. Douglas Thomas, Associate Professor of Communication at the University of Southern California Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism as keynote speaker.
During the ceremony, student Nicholas A. Bauer of Marlette was honored with a 2017 Faculty Memorial Award for those who have completed their degree at SC4.
The award was founded by Professor Richard Colwell, past chairman of the SC4 English Department, to recognize outstanding students and provide a moment to remember extraordinary educators who have passed away.
Nominees for the 2017 Completing Student Award in addition to Bauer were:
- David L. Lloyd of Fort Gratiot (Computer and Office Technology)
- Sussanna E. Miller of Marysville (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math)
- Donald J. Wilson of East China Township (Health and Human Services, Nursing)
- Alec B. Wixson of Avoca (Math and Science)
