WSCC to hold mini commencements.
VICTORY TOWNSHIP — West Shore Community College students are nearing the end of the winter semester, which, for many, means commencement. The annual ceremony was cancelled in 2020 due to COVID-19. This year, commencement will be held, but it will be much different than the traditional ceremony held at the Recreation Center arena.
There will be a total of eight commencement ceremonies, held by invitation only, at the college’s Center Stage Theater. Five of the ceremonies will be for general degree and certificate graduates, along with a ceremony for ASM Tech graduates, one for nursing students and one for criminal justice students.
Ceremonies will take place on April 30 and May 1. Each will also be live-streamed.
Attendees are being asked to follow the college’s COVID-19 protocols, which include wearing masks and social distancing.
The following are the 2020-2021 graduates of WSCC:
