NEW GRADUATES CELEBRATED AT FALL COMMENCEMENT CEREMONY

Please join us in congratulating our newest Broward College alumni and graduates. On December 12, at the Amerant Bank Arena, thousands of graduates proudly walked the stage to the cheers and applause of their family and friends. This momentous occasion marked the culmination of years of hard work, dedication, and perseverance.

We are incredibly proud of these newest grads, who ranged in age from 17 to 70. Their diverse backgrounds and experiences enrich Broward County and exemplify perseverence and the spirit of lifelong learning. Each graduate's journey is unique, and their achievements are a testament to their resilience and determination.

As they embark on the next chapter of their lives, we celebrate their accomplishments and look forward to seeing the positive impact they will make in their respective fields. Congratulations to the Broward College Class of 2024!
