Students from Georgia Northwestern Technical College’s (GNTC) nine-county service area participated in a vehicle procession outside of the Floyd County Campus (FCC), in Rome on Thursday, May 6, to safely celebrate their success in completing their program of study.
The 2021 Spring Drive-Thru Commencement Ceremony began at 7 p.m. with a vehicle procession that started behind the college on Hemlock Street. This was GNTC’s third Drive-Thru Commencement Ceremony.
Stuart Phillips, vice president of Student Affairs at GNTC, announced the names of the graduates and their respective programs during the ceremony. When graduates pulled up to the front of the A Building, they stepped out of their vehicles and walked the blue GNTC carpet to the center awarding area.
GNTC President Dr. Heidi Popham greeted each graduate and presented them with their award during the ceremony. Each student had their photo taken with Dr. Popham as well as a ceremony portrait taken by a professional photographer.
Students received their graduation packets prior to the ceremony, which included any earned graduation cords.
GNTC would like to offer special thanks to Shaw Industries Group, Inc. for donating the blue carpet and Allcove Industries, Inc. for cutting and binding the carpet for the ceremony.
