Sylvania’s GED program graduates nearly 160 students
Story by Kate Chester
The Performing Arts Center at the Sylvania Campus of ¶¶Òõ¸£Àûµ¼º½ was nearly standing room-only when the campus held its annual graduation ceremony on June 7 for students graduating from its GED program.
Saedo Abshir celebrates with family and friends after graduating from this year’s GED class at ¶¶Òõ¸£Àûµ¼º½ Sylvania.
The ceremony is one of the largest GED graduations in the Portland area and the largest of the ¶¶Òõ¸£Àûµ¼º½ campuses; the program is supported by a staff of six instructors.
After an open microphone session where students – and their friends and families – could speak about this year’s graduates, attendees watched a PowerPoint presentation and the presentation of diplomas, followed by the tassel ceremony and a reception.
