December 2021 Graduation Recap

The December Commencement typically takes place in the Greenhoe Theater/Fine Arts Building, but the Click Famly Sports Center gymnasium provided a larger space for more friends and family members of the 42 graduates to celebrate the day in person. The ceremony also welcomed back members of the 2020 graduating class who had not had the chance to accept their degrees in person due to COVID-19 restrictions. 

"Strong, persistent, determined, and reslient people like you get college degress," Landmark College President Dr. Peter Eden told the graduates during his Welcome address. Many of the remarks from students illustrated those qualities, as did the closing remarks from Professor of Psychology Solvegi Shmulsky, as she shared reflections from parents of graduates and recent Landmark College alumni on what this accomplishment meant to them.   

Brattleboro Community Television assisted with webstreaming the event, including a live chat that allowed viewers to post their own congratulatory messages to the graduates.
