LCC to hold limited in-person commencement ceremony

Lower Columbia College (LCC) will hold its 86th annual commencement ceremony in-person on the LCC campus on June 17. The ceremony will be held in the Wollenberg Auditorium beginning at 6:00 p.m.

Due to the ongoing pandemic, graduates and their guests will rotate through the auditorium in small groups. Each graduate will be allocated four guest tickets, and no additional guest seating will be available.

Approximately 200 students are expected to participate in the ceremony, which will also be live-streamed through the LCC website.

For the 2021-22 academic year, the college expects to confer 21 applied bachelor’s degrees, 459 associate degrees, 19 certificates, and 32 high school diplomas.

In lieu of a single valedictorian, LCC names Scholastic Achievement Award winners in three categories: baccalaureate, academic transfer, and professional technical. This year’s winners are Grace Huhta, Andrew Gomes and Krista Brown.
