LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Woodland Community College is preparing to celebrate its 12th commencement ceremony to honor the class of 2020 on Friday, May 15.
This year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event is going online.
“Normally, our campus and our students would be in the midst of a multitude of celebrations as we near the end of the academic year and though we may not be able to celebrate as we normally would due to the pandemic, I want to congratulate our 2020 graduating class for their unwavering commitment to their education and tenacity to finish,” said College President Dr. Art Pimentel.
The WCC Commencement Planning Committee has been hard at work during the last month to
transition the college’s most important celebration to a virtual modality due to the ongoing COVID-19 and properly honor this year’s 344 WCC graduates.
YCCD Chancellor Douglas Houston, YCCD Trustee Susan Alves, Academic Senate President Christopher Howerton, ASWCC President Katrina Toups, and our Valedictorian Grace Matayoshi have recorded messages to the class of 2020 which will be streamed on Friday, May 15, at 6 p.m.
Community members who wish to view the ceremony can access the video on the college’s website at http://wcc.yccd.edu .
The Lake County Campus is taking the same approach and will be streaming its ceremony at the same time.
The LCC ceremony will be accessible at http://lcc.yccd.edu .
This year’s keynote address will be given by Dr. Cesar Cruz from Empowerment Homies.
Graduates were asked to submit a picture and short message that will be displayed along with their name, degree/certificate earned, transfer institution (if applicable) and honors.
“On behalf of all the Woodland Community College professional staff, faculty, and leadership, I would like to congratulate the class of 2020 and wish them the best of luck as they embark on the next phase of their education and life,” Pimentel said.
