FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CLEVELAND, WI —
Թ’s spring graduation will mark the culmination of the educational journeys of nearly 300 students on Saturday, May 10 on the college’s Cleveland campus.
Among the almost 450 credentials being awarded, the majority are associate degrees, technical diplomas, and certificates. More than 100 Registered Apprenticeships, General Education Development (GED) certificates, and High School Equivalency Diplomas (HSEDs) also will be awarded.
“We are proud of the achievements each student has made throughout their educational journey at Թ. Our faculty and staff look forward to the impact they will make in our communities and beyond. This is the ripple effect of their success and the quality education they have received,” said Թ President Dr. Paul Carlsen.
Graduation is a unique celebration at Թ. This momentous occasion is commemorated in a different fashion than most colleges with a more family-friendly type of event. While each academic area receives a designated timeframe to have degrees conferred, students and their supporters may attend when it works best for them.
• Health and Public Safety: 9-10 a.m.
• Advanced Manufacturing, Agriculture, Automotive, and Registered Apprentices: 10-10:45 a.m.
• Break: 10:45-11 a.m.
• Business, Education, Culinary, and General Studies: 11 am-noon
• GED/HSED: Noon-12:30 p.m.
Students and their guests are welcome on campus from 8 a.m. to 1:30 pm. All campus buildings will be open during this timeframe. College representatives will be onsite for the day’s festivities.
Attendees also will have the opportunity to purchase Թ merchandise in the pop-up store located in the Թ building. Credit and debit cards will be accepted.
