SIC Celebrates 2022 Graduates
Southeastern Illinois College 2022 graduates proudly walked the aisle in Joseph Deaton Gymnasium May 14 to accept their certificates and diplomas while family and friends cheered them on in the first in-person commencement ceremony since 2019. The ceremony was also livestreamed on SIC’s YouTube channel – a practice that began last year when family and friends could not attend in person.
Two ceremonies took place — the first at 10 a.m. for baccalaureate Associate of Arts and Associate of Science degrees. The second was held at 1 p.m. for Nursing, Career & Technical Education, Associate of Applied Science degrees, and certificates.
Daniel Paul Davis, Vice President and Community Affairs Officer for the St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank, was the keynote speaker for both ceremonies.
Music for the first ceremony was provided by SIC Music Instructor Cory Garmane. Musician and SIC Alumna Melinda Tolley provided music for the 1 p.m. ceremony.
SIC has a total of 146 graduates this year, though not all participate in the commencement ceremony. Many students transfer without a conferred degree to a four-year institution.
