Graduation Festival

As the Spring semester winds down and students prepare for final exams, there’s a contingent of students that are looking forward to PAC’s 24th annual Commencement Ceremony being held at the Municipal Auditorium, Thursday, May 6 at 7 p.m.

Making this event special is the possibility that this will be the largest group of students participating in the Commencement Ceremony. Last year’s record of 288 students looks like it will be easily toppled as more than 400 students have made a commitment to participate in this year’s Ceremony.

Tomorrow, Wednesday, April 28, PAC will host “Graduation Festival” in the Student Center Annex from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. This festive event is designed to give graduating students a “one-stop” location for picking up their cap and gown, tickets to enter the Municipal Auditorium for family and friends, and a parking pass.

Graduation Festival will also include tables for representatives selling graduation rings and invitations, along with representatives from four-year universities providing information for students to continue their academic journey. The Center for Academic Transitions will make available PAC’s new Alumni Coordinator and Career Services staff.

The Office of Student Life will be providing salsa, meringue and cumbia music, along with refreshments consisting of pan dulce, donuts, cookies, kettle corn, coffee, juice, water and soft drinks. They have even worked out a deal with Maverick Cleaners (1952 SW Military Drive) to steam press graduation gowns for $1.99!
