On May 9, more than 500 erstwhile students of Doña Ana Community College moved their tassels over as they graduated with degrees and honors ready to go out and challenge the world and workplace.
Dental hygienists and graphic technologists; culinary artists and game developers; film crews and respiratory therapists; and so many more are heading out to look for jobs. And then, following the pomp and circumstance as they collected their certificates one by one, the jubilant graduates processed out of the Pan-American Center to the cheerful music of Mariachi Jalisciense.
