President Jermaine F. Williams officiated his first—and Montgomery College’s 75th—commencement exercises May 19 and 20 at the Rockville Campus. Two days of 80-plus-degree-heat did not deter nearly 1,200 of the 3,200 graduates and their families and friends from attending the ceremonies.
Dr. Williams thanked the class for their persistence about wanting an in-person ceremony. “Just three months ago we had not planned to hold this ceremony in person,” he said. “But then we heard from so many of you. We heard how much students wanted to celebrate their arrival at this day, so we pulled out all the stops to make it happen.”
