John A. Logan College Announces Graduation Schedule and Details for Local Students

John A. Logan College will hold its Fifty-Fifth Commencement in two ceremonies on Friday, May 17, 2024, at the Donald L. Brewer Gymnasium and Convocation Center in Carterville. The first ceremony at 5:00 p.m. will honor graduates with Associate degrees in Arts, Science, Engineering Science, and Fine Arts. The second, at 7:30 p.m., will recognize those earning Associate in Applied Science degrees and certificates.

Due to limited space, the college has split the commencement into two sessions. Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis, with overflow seating in the O’Neil Auditorium, where the ceremonies will be streamed live. Doors will open an hour before each event, and the gymnasium will be cleared between sessions.

Graduates should arrive at room F 119 in the Conference Center by 4:15 p.m. for the first ceremony and by 6:45 p.m. for the second. Nichole Holmes, a realtor and media personality from Nashville, TN, will be recognized as a distinguished alumnus.

The ceremonies will feature speeches from student representatives Chay-Chen Hartman and Betty Adams, and faculty members Dr. Heather Hampson and Cornelius Fair, who will be honored as Faculty of the Year and Adjunct Faculty of the Year, respectively.
