¿ì²¥ÊÓƵ

One of the most popular end-of-the-academic-year festivities at ¿ì²¥ÊÓƵ Cortland Community College is the annual Graduate of Note luncheon. First held in 2012, the Graduate of Note ceremony pays tribute to some of the finest members of the graduating class. This year, 31 members of the Class of 2025 were honored.

The Graduate of Note distinction is awarded to graduating students who achieved notable ¿ì²¥ÊÓƵ in their respective degree program. Unlike others awards, it is not strictly based on GPA.
