Mid-State Technical College’s fall 2022 graduates were recognized in an indoor ceremony on the College’s Wisconsin Rapids Campus, Saturday, Dec. 10.

The celebration highlighted the College’s protective and human services programs and included a faculty send-off by Information Technology Instructor Brent Presley and a keynote address delivered by Mid-State’s 2022 Distinguished Alumnus Rick Anderson, associate dean of Protective & Human Services. The student address was delivered by Mara Daniels, Plover, graduating from the Criminal Justice-Corrections & Community Advocacy program.

“Nothing worthwhile is easy, and that includes making the most of our futures,” Daniels said in her speech. “But that doesn’t mean we give up on ourselves. We will keep pushing, because we know we can achieve our dreams, and because we are worth it.” 

Mid-State President Dr. Shelly Mondeik conferred the degrees and invited the graduates to move their tassels to the left. “Use all you have learned and experienced to navigate opportunities and challenges in ways that propel you forward,” she said in her remarks. “Do not settle for mediocrity. Be the one that puts in the extra effort to make a difference.” 

The event was livestreamed for anyone wishing to join remotely. The video recording can be viewed at mstc.edu/graduation.
