SCC Graduation 2010


   Probably the biggest event held here at SCC every year is our annual graduation ceremony. Before the construction of the College Center, it used to be held at Fort Zumwalt High School but now our gymnasium just barely accommodates the huge crowd of friends and family members of our graduates. This year was a little unusual since we oriented the seating differently to allow for ramps on both sides of the stage.

Here is a stitched picture showing the new arrangement.

Professor John Walker leads the college orchestra in some background  music before the ceremonies.

I wonder if it is somewhat boring for the musicians since they repeatedly play "Pomp and Circumstance" until everyone is seated and until all of the faculty and graduates leave.

Faculty members Dan Rezny and Bill Kristen discuss proper robing techniques.

Will Griffin and Joe Hartnett look ready for the day's events.

Deborah Crank-Lewis helps Hal Berry achieve the right look as Ron Pettus looks on.

This year was special because we had two members of the Learning Resource Center staff receive their diplomas. Here, a happy Kate Mikulin poses for a final picture.


Karen Krietemeyer from the LRC technical services department proudly poses with Scooter.

Scooter actually wasn't the main speaker (which would probably be difficult since Scooter doesn't speak at all) but he still likes to clown around.
