Shelton State Community College is preparing to celebrate the achievements of the Class of Summer 2026 as Commencement Week officially begins. The week will recognize the hard work, dedication, and perseverance of graduating students through two special ceremonies honoring their accomplishments.
The celebration begins on Thursday with the Nursing Pinning Ceremony, a meaningful tradition that recognizes nursing graduates as they transition into the healthcare profession. Family, friends, faculty, and staff will gather to celebrate the graduates’ commitment to serving their communities through compassionate patient care.
The festivities continue on Friday with the college’s Summer 2026 Commencement Ceremony, where graduates from a variety of academic programs will cross the stage to receive their degrees and certificates. The ceremony marks the culmination of years of hard work and the beginning of new opportunities in higher education and the workforce.
Shelton State encourages the campus community and supporters to join in celebrating the newest members of its alumni family. Graduates are recognized not only for their academic success but also for the determination and resilience they demonstrated throughout their educational journeys.
Those wishing to attend or learn more about the week’s events can view the full commencement schedule on the Shelton State website.
Congratulations to the Shelton State Community College Class of Summer 2026! The college looks forward to the many contributions its newest alumni will make in their communities and professions.
