International students hold a graduation party at home through zoom.
Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, graduation seemed almost impossible. The CCS Global Education Team decided to make the most out of the graduation day by organizing the virtual graduation party for international students.
The virtual graduation party was held on June 3 via Zoom. All the international students from Spokane Falls Community College and Spokane Community College were cordially invited on to this occasion.
Global Education program coordinator of SFCC Christiana Hennings was the host of the virtual party and Julie Hands who is the Global Education program coordinator at SCC was the co-host. The students appeared to be truly appreciated by the faculty and staff.
International student advisor Trina Allen concluded by wishing students all the best and shared some memories with each student. Each student graduated ready to either transfer to a university or work full-time in their desired fields.
International student Angel was one a previous student of Spokane Falls Community College and encouraged graduating students worried about a difficult future, “Nothing is difficult if you’re willing to grab the opportunity.” Angel attended University of Washington and now works in a well-renowned company.
Maninder Singh, graduate student of Spokane Community College from India, adds that he is very grateful for graduating and looks forward to attending Eastern Washington University in Cheney.
Students who went back to their home country also joined the party despite the difference in time zones and wished all the best to all the former students.
Charlotte, an international student from Spokane Falls Community College who graduated this year, is ready to go to Washington D.C. to further her studies.
Christiana Hennings showed a video of good times and memories students had gathered, and attendees appeared very happy at the viewing.
The CCS team is working hard to provide the best facilities to the students, and they clearly succeeded at providing an excellent graduation party for 2020’s outgoing students.
