Sinclair to graduate second largest class
Sinclair Community College expects to graduate its second largest class at the college’s 43rd commencement ceremonies on Friday, June 12.
Sinclair will graduate an estimated 1,590 students. In addition, the college will confer 249 certificates and more than 1,418 short-term certificates this spring.
“Last year we removed the barriers that made graduation a difficult process for our students,” said Allison Rhea, Sinclair registrar. The college last year did away with its graduation application and the associated fee. “Efforts like these ensure the college continues to put students first,” Rhea said.
Sinclair had a nearly 14 percent increase in full-time students for the 2009 spring quarter. The college also has seen an increase in current summer registration.
Sinclair will hold its 43nd commencement on Friday, June 12th, at the University of Dayton Arena at 6:45 p.m. Sinclair alumna and former board of trustee member Ethel Washington-Harris will be the keynote speaker.
Sinclair is a public two-year college with an enrollment of more than 23,000 students. It has a main campus in Dayton, a campus center in Mason and learning centers in Englewood and Huber Heights.
Last year’s graduation class was the largest in Sinclair’s history, with nearly 1,700 graduates.
