More than 300 students attended from Vernon College graduation ceremonies Friday afternoon at the Kay Yeager Coliseum in Wichita Falls.
The 313 graduates earned degrees or certificates in a variety of skills from the community college that has campuses in Vernon and Wichita Falls. Thursday’s graduates were from both campuses.
VC President Dusty Johnston said Vernon College is both an economic engine and an educational institution for the region.
“This is not the end. I promise you this is just the beginning,” he told the graduates. “You are completing a milestone, a marker in time, and what you do next, honestly, is 100% up to you.”
Vernon College provides associate degrees and certificates in programs ranging from nursing to computer science. It also offers specific workforce training, according to VC’s website.
