May 2016
Greetings!,
May is one of my favorite times on campus as our students prepare forthe highlight of the year, Commencement, on Saturday, May 28th.
Commencement formally recognizes the transition to a new stage in ourstudents' lives. Their next step, whether further studies or a professionalcareer, is one that has been shaped by their experiences at SRJC. Ourgraduates will continue their pursuit of knowledge, solve importantproblems, structure solutions and make lasting contributions to ourcommunity.
This year, for the first time, we are also honoring our Career and TechnicalEducation certificate students with a new annual event called CelebrateCTE. On Friday, May 27th from 4:30-6:00 p.m. on the Santa RosaCampus under the oaks, please join us to celebrate more than 250 of ourstudents who have pursued these career routes. They will be receivingwhat used to be known as vocational certificates.
Share your advice with our new graduates on how to be a success in theirchosen pursuits in the link below. What do you wish you had knownbefore you left SRJC?
Please join me in welcoming the newest alumni to a network of 1 millionstrong SRJC Bear Cubs!
Best,
Dr. Frank ChongSuperintendent/President
