With commencement exercises cancelled due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, North Central Missouri College is making plans to honor its 2020 graduates.
Students are invited to put on their favorite NCMC t-shirt and send a picture of themselves to the student services office. Students will then vote for their favorite shirt, with the graduate submitting the winning picture to receive a $50 gift card and hand sanitizer. All graduates would then receive that shirt as well as a cap and tassel. In addition, the college will be soliciting well-wishes from families and friends in a Facebook guestbook-type of page and will develop a virtual commencement with comments from the student senate president and others. Gowns will be lent to students who wish to have a picture taken in them. Other options for honoring the graduates are also being explored.
The 2020 graduating class includes 519 unduplicated applicants, with 558 total degrees and certificates to be awarded. That number includes 174 associate in arts; 14 associate in arts in teaching; 217 associate in applied science; seven associate in general studies; two associate in science; and 144 certificates.
The class, which includes 363 females and 156 males, has an average age of 24.9, with the oldest graduate being 58 and the youngest graduate being 18. In addition to students from the Missouri, the class includes graduates from 13 other states – Alabama, California, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma and Pennsylvania – as well as the countries of Aruba, Belize, Curacao, Germany and the Philippines.
