Southern State Community College honored graduates from the classes of 2020 and 2021 with a “Cruise-In Commencement” Celebration at the Central Campus in Hillsboro.
Graduates and their families arrived in fully decorated vehicles to enter a parade-like procession as faculty and staff cheered from the sidelines. During the evening’s festivities, each graduate was able to exit their vehicle to walk the red carpet and receive their degree from SSCC President Dr. Kevin Boys.
“As we approached commencement during the spring of 2020, it became quite clear that the COVID-19 pandemic would prevent us from having our traditional graduation ceremony. Here we are one year later, and although we’re still very much in the midst of this global pandemic, we have endeavored to find a way to hold a graduation ceremony, the likes of which will be historic for our college…our very first drive-in commencement,” says Dr. Kevin Boys, SSCC President.
