NETC Awards 326 Degrees, Diplomas and Certificates to the Class of 2021

With college degrees, diplomas, and certificates at hand, Northeastern Technical College graduates were urged to become trailblazers and pioneers for community change during the college's annual ceremony held May 13.

Pageland Chamber of Commerce President, Timothy Griffin was the keynote speaker for commencement, during which he encouraged graduates to become pioneers, and challenged them to fight to build the strong communities they deserve.

"I recently heard that the American dream has died and that there were no longer any pioneers, dreamers, or things to discover. Well, obviously they have never been to NETC and met our graduates," said Griffin. "You are now the drivers of the American dream, you are our new pioneers, and you can help shape and create the future of the world starting right here in your own community."

Griffin encouraged students to use the education they received at NETC to build a stronger community, no matter the odds.

"Don't let anybody tell you what your community should be," he continued. "Become politically involved, become civically involved, and get into community service. You'll learn that you can shape the community not only for yourself but for generations to come."

This year's commencement ceremony was held in two parts as a drive-up event due to social distancing, with different ceremony times depending on the programs that students were graduating from.

The following is a list of NETC graduates who were recognized and awarded degrees, certificates, or diplomas on May 13. The list is sorted by student's hometown, last name, and the degree, diploma, and/or certification(s) received.
