AUBURN — Almost 600 students made up Central Maine Community College’s largest graduating class in history when commencement was held May 11.
President Scott Knapp presented the graduates with their diplomas at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston.
Dean Roger Philippon recognized numerous academic achievements of the graduating class, including Student of the Year Robyn Rawle, of Buckfield, and All-Maine Academic Team members Misty Edgecomb of Auburn and Melissa Potter of Lewiston.
Auburn Mayor Jonathan LaBonte told graduates in his commencement address, “Being here tonight, you’ve proven you can learn in the classroom, and the beauty of an education at Central Maine Community College is that the faculty keeps their eye on the application of that knowledge outside the four walls of a lab or lecture hall.
“The first lesson in the art of whatever you find passion in will be to muster all the creativity you have and apply it. Second lesson is to repeat.”
Graduates of more than 40 different programs at CMCC earned associate degrees, certificates, or advanced certificate credentials this year. Among those programs with the largest number of graduates are business administration and management; criminal justice; automotive technology; precision machining, technology and general studies.
