TCCC students graduate Friday
Monica Pace Guest Writer

When Tri-County Community College graduates don their caps and gowns on Friday, they can look forward to a ceremony focused on them and their experiences at the college. About 105 students are expected to walk.

Three students will take center stage as speakers and entertainment while attendees will be treated to a slide show honoring graduates.

The first student speaker is Jannette Mescall Hanson, a graduate from the Graham County Center who has earned degrees in Computer Information Technology and Office Systems Technology as well as a certificate in Hardware and Software Technical Support. She will speak about her journey at TCCC that began with her GED and spread to her entire family. Hanson is an Academic Honor Student and member of the National Technical Honor Society.

Next, Melissa June Cheeks, a graduate in Early Childhood Education from Murphy, will sing.

The second student speaker is Cassie Lynn McDonald, a College Transfer graduate from Murphy who has earned Associate in Arts and Associate in Science degrees. McDonald will speak about how TCCC has helped prepare her for the future.

"We're really excited about this year's graduation," said Linda Lovingood, Interim Vice-President of Academic Affairs and Student Development Services. "It's a pleasure to have such inspirational students sharing their stories and their talents with us on this special day."

Students will receive their diplomas from Interim President John Cabe and Vice President for Graham County Operations, Dr. Donna Tipton-Rogers when TCCC holds its 2007 Commencement Exercises on Friday, May 11 at 6:00 p.m. in the Enloe Building on the Main Campus in Murphy.
