Tompkins Cortland Community College (TC3) has recognized 123 students who have completed their degree or certificate during the schools 22nd Graduates Recognition Ceremony last Friday. The event’s keynote speaker was Professor Kerry Curran.

“We each have been led to this moment on different paths, having different goals and focuses, facing different challenges, being give different opportunities,” Golden-Appleton said. “After this moment we will continue on our own paths, pursuing our own callings. But for tonight, we share in a special moment, a moment of celebration.”
