It's Graduation Time! Upcoming Commencements at The Greensboro Coliseum

Spring is here, and along with the much-anticipated longer days, warmer temperatures and all things blossoming and blooming (sorry, allergy sufferers!), it's again the season for that time-honored tradition known as Gettin'-the-Heck-Out, or, more simply, graduation.

The Greensboro Coliseum Complex will be hopping this week, with no fewer than three different college commencements scheduled:

Thursday, May 7th at 7:00 pm
commencement exercises for Guilford Technical Community College (GTCC) will be held. The GTCC website is not very sparing with details, but if you need additional information, their phone number is 336.334.4822.

Friday, May 8th at 10:00 am (doors open at 8:30am)
the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) will hold its annual commencement exercises. For a detailed schedule of events, view here.

Saturday, May 9th at 8:30 am - NCA&T
North Carolina A&T University's featured commencement speaker will be Representative John Lewis, one of the original Freedom Riders, a contemporary of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and a significant figure in the Civil Rights Movement. For more details, visit A&T's website here.

GTCC Will Not Be Mailing Live and Learn Catalogs for Fall 2014 Semester

I teach courses for the Continuing Education (Con-Ed) department at Guilford Technical Comunity College (GTCC), and my boss let me know that they will not be mailing out the familiar "Live and Learn" catalogs this semester. GTCC does plan to send out a tabloid-style mailer, instead, and all classes will be listed online, as always, at  http://www.gtcc.edu/continuing-education-(con-ed).aspx

You can view the fall catalog online as a PDF, here https://www.gtcc.edu/media/335791/LL-Fall2014.pdf

My boss asked me to get the word out to my students, if I could, and since y'all are potential students, consider this the word, getting out!
