Pensacola State Student Affairs is working on enhancing the student experience for graduation. There will be lighted PSC letters outside for photo opportunities, a 360 camera that will be set up where the students check in for them to get a free picture, and a photo booth set up with props for selfies. Additionally, the College is giving all graduates who stay throughout the entire graduation ceremony a complimentary PSC Graduate T-shirt.
Associate Vice President of Student Affairs Dr. Jon Stephenson said, “Our students worked so hard for this, and it’s an honor for me to be a part of such a great celebration of their dedication and commitment to furthering their careers. We are constantly trying to seek ways to make graduation commencement a celebration of the achievements of our students.”
All students participating in the ceremony are encouraged to email the College Marketing Department at www.marketing@pensacolastate.edu with a picture they would like to be put up on all of the LED and video boards throughout the Bay Center that will run from when doors open until the start of the commencement ceremony. Dr. Stephenson also encourages those graduates in unique situations, like family members graduating together or someone returning to PSC to earn an additional degree, to please let the Marketing team know, to highlight those special celebrations.
All of us at Pensacola State College congratulate the graduates on your accomplishments, and we wish you the best of luck as you move forward in the future. We celebrate you!
