Dear ,
This is one of my favorite times of the year at the college district. Both Grossmont and Cuyamaca colleges are holding their commencement ceremonies, and there's nothing more rewarding than seeing the glowing faces of our graduates as they receive the degrees or certificates that are the result of lots of hard work and effort.
I'm proud that we're serving more than 27,000 students and helping them to acheive their dreams. Despite the difficulties caused by the state budget cuts, we're still fulfilling the important role of preparing our students for jobs and furthering their education.
Have a great summer!
Sincerely,
Cindy L. Miles, Ph. D.
Chancellor, Grossmont-Cuyamaca
Community College District

Cuyamaca & Grossmont College commencements to be held
May 30 and 31 |
|
More than 2,300 students will be receiving their degrees or certificates from Grossmont and Cuyamaca colleges this month.
Cuyamaca College will honor 695 students on Wednesday, May 30, at the college's student center quad. Grossmont College will laud 1,664 students at the main quad. Both ceremonies are scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m.
Cuyamaca College's keynote speaker will be Greg Koch, CEO and co-founder of the Stone Brewing Co. in Escondido. Koch, who spoke at Cuyamaca College's Green Business Symposium last year, was chosen because of his commitment to resource conservation.
Grossmont College will have Diana Marie Pico, a healer and registered nurse, as its keynote speaker at commencement. Pico, who graduated from Grossmont in 1986 with an associate degree in nursing, is also the wife of Anthony Pico, chairman of the Viejas Band of Kumeyaay Indians.
