Graduates celebrate at 2010 Grad Fest

Chaffey celebrated its 2nd annual Grad Fest Wednesday, April 28 to assist graduates in the process of purchasing cap and gowns and other souvenirs for that big day, graduation. Several vendors offered discounted items that were not offered anywhere else, and students also received little giveaways.

There was a barbeque held at the event to help raised money to support next year’s Grad Fest. Other programs on campus such as the Bookstore contributed support to the students by providing supplies and assistance to the relatives of the graduates.

“Being the coordinator of the Grad Fest, we like to keep things flowing and easy for the graduates,” said Jared Ceja, director of Auxiliary Services.

Soon-to-be graduates were offered everything they need for that big day. The students’ faces were filled with excitement as they approached the line to retrieve their items; parents came out to support their loved ones and make the process smoother. Despite the stress of finals and budget cuts, students said they were eager to walk across the lawn to receive their certificates and degrees. 500 students will be graduating this spring on Tuesday, May 25.

“Leadership is what we are known for. There have been many faculty and staff working very hard to make this ceremonial event smooth, the students have worked hard and we must reward them,” said Dr. Henry Shannon.
