“I am thrilled that for the first time in two years, we will gather in person to celebrate this important life milestone for our students,” said Dr. Jeff Rafn, NWTC president. “A lot of hard work goes into this achievement, and I am inspired by the dedication our students have shown and look forward to seeing them apply their expertise in our community.”

1,400 students (from all three campuses and five regional centers) are candidates for graduation.
Approximately 520 will receive degrees with honors or high honors.
145 are graduating as Phi Theta Kappa members, which is a National Honor Society of two-year colleges.
