Mid-State Technical College’s spring graduates were recognized in an outdoor ceremony on the College’s Wisconsin Rapids Campus, Saturday, May 14.
Student speaker Brittany Nelson, Plover, delivering her speech at Mid-State’s spring commencement on the Wisconsin Rapids Campus, May 14.
The ceremony took place in the campus parking lot with large screen monitors providing a view of the proceedings in real time. Graduates were seated in front of the stage before having the opportunity to walk across the state to receive their diploma. Guests viewed from their cars in the parking spaces behind the seated graduates or from chairs in the lot and adjoining lawns.
The celebration included a faculty send-off by Criminal Justice Instructor Courtney Kostuchowski and a keynote address delivered by alumna Renae Sigall ’04, named to Wisconsin’s 48 Most Influential Black Leaders 2021 list. The student address was delivered by Business Management graduate and 2022 Wisconsin Technical College System State Ambassador Brittany Nelson, Plover.
“When I enrolled myself back into Mid-State after an eight-year break, I was so nervous, but I knew it was the path I wanted to walk down,” Nelson said in her speech. “To those of you who don’t know where your path may lead, that is quite alright. I am right there with you.”
Mid-State President Dr. Shelly Mondeik conferred the degrees and invited the graduates to move their tassels to the left. “I hope your experience was filled with moments of courage, determination, growth and many new relationships that will support your continued journey,” she said in her remarks.
The event was livestreamed on Mid-State’s website for anyone wishing to join remotely. The video recording can be viewed at mstc.edu/graduation.
