Georgia Highlands College (originally Floyd Junior College in 1970) had a single graduate at the end of its founding year. The first commencement ceremony was in 1971 with GHC’s first president, David McCorkle, and the dean, Wesley Walraven, presiding over the small event in the president’s office on the Floyd campus.
As a special return to the tradition of on-campus commencements, GHC will host the upcoming 2021 graduation ceremony outside at the Floyd campus on Thursday, May 13.
Three separate ceremonies will take place throughout the day. Ceremonies begin at 10AM and 6PM, with the nursing pinning/commencement ceremony beginning at 3PM.
