PADUCAH, Ky. — West Kentucky Community and Technical College recognized more than 200 candidates for graduation who participated in its spring commencement ceremony May 9 at the Luther F. Carson Four Rivers Center. More than 700 students qualified to participate by completing the classwork for an associate's degree, diploma or certificate.
In addition to the candidates for graduation, more than 60 students received nursing pins during a ceremony prior to commencement.
Paducah City Commissioner and keynote speaker Sandra Wilson gave the graduates a list of ten top things to remember as they moved to the next chapter in their lives. She encouraged the graduates to trust their instincts, to not be afraid to explore new ideas and to strive to keep positive thoughts. "Never underestimate yourself or influence," Wilson said. "Someone is looking to your as their mentor, role model, leader, advisor or friend. Lead them wisely."
The nursing pinning and the graduation ceremonies were recorded by WKCTC's television department and will air on Paducah-2 and online on YouTube.
A list of WKCTC's spring candidates for graduation (listed by counties) follows. Students with one asterisk in front of their name graduated with distinction with a grade point average of 3.4-3.5 while students with two asterisks graduated with high distinction with a grade point average of 3.6-4.0.
