Texarkana College held its Fall Commencement Ceremony on Tuesday, December 13, 2022, at First Baptist Church Texarkana and conferred degrees and certificates for 331 graduates who completed during either the summer or fall term. 221 graduates received associate degrees from academic programs and 110 graduates received certificates from TC’s workforce skills training programs. Dr. Donna McDaniel, Vice President of Instruction, said the ceremony was a successful and memorable event for TC students and their families. “The celebration of accomplishments at TC’s commencement ceremony is not just for the graduates, but also for their families and the community members who have supported them along they way,” said Dr. Mc-Daniel. “It is especially encouraging to see the number of students who are the first in their family to earn a college credential and who are building a college-going culture for generations to come.”
At the ceremony, more than seventy-five graduates wore green and blue cords indicating first-generation college student status.
TC president, Dr. Jason Smith, commended the graduates for their perseverance.
