PABLO – It was a day of accomplishment and celebration for graduates at the Salish Kootenai College as they received their degrees Saturday afternoon.
“You are blazing trails for future students. You are blazing trails for your family, your children, for our community and for the professions you are entering,” Dr. Sandra Boham said to the graduates during her commencement speech. She is the president of Salish Kootenai College.
The SKC Class of 2018 consists of 149 undergraduates receiving a total of 16 Bachelor of Arts degrees, 28 Bachelor of Science degrees, seven Bachelor of Social work degrees, 44 Associate of Arts degrees, 50 Associate of Science degrees and four Associate of Applied Science degrees. Salish Kootenai College also awarded 53 Certificates of Completion and 43 Workforce Certifications.
Boham went on to thank the class for their perseverance and dedication. “You have been an incredible shining example of what happens when you set a goal and fight to get there.”
Dr. Larry Gianchetta, dean emeritus of the School of Business Administration at University of Montana, delivered commencement remarks to the graduates.
“Think of all the people who helped you through this process,” Gianchetta said. “Extend your appreciation to them for their support. It’s important for you to recognize them. Take time to thank them for their advice, guidance and support.”
SKC gave honorary degrees to Catherine Mathias Hamel and Francis “Gene” Sorrell. Business technology department head and instructor Nancy Nelson was given the 2018 Teacher of the Year, and first year nursing student JoDawna Tso was awarded 2018 Student of the Year.
