RCC GRADUATES TOLD
ACCOMPLISHMENTS SIGNIFY
NEW BEGINNING, NOT AN END
Janice Kennedy-Sloan, vice pre
sident of adult and continuing
education at the Department of
Community Colleges in Raleigh, (old
125 graduating high school students
Thursday that their accomplishments
signify a new beginning, not an end
during commencement exercises at
Robeson Community College's A.D.
Lewis Auditorium.
"Only as one experience comes to
an end un we begin another, said
Ms. fo^iedy-Sloan to an over
flowing wowd of more than 1,100
people on hand to see family and
friends walk across the stage to
receive their high school diploma.
"No matter where you or I are in
our own pilgrimage now, God can
give us a new beginning. Simple,
isn't it? And yet important because
this message runs like a golden
thread through the Old Testament
and the New Testament, through
history, through the life of the
Church, and through your experience
and mine," she said. "Beginning at
the end. That's what life is all
about."
This year's adult high school class
was the third largest in the school's
history and earned the distinction of
being the first class to graduate in
the new 1,000-seat Lewis Auditorium
RCC's technical and vocational stu
dents will graduate in August.
Since its inception in 1967, the
adult high school program has
graduated more than 2,000 adults.
RCC's program has traditionally
ranked among the top five programs
in the 58-member community college
system.
Thomas Milsap of Parkton was
among those who graduated Thurs
day night.
"It was one of the most satisfying
experiences of my life," said Milsap
following commencement exercises.
"I had always helped others, but had
never tried to do anything for
myself."
It was 1947 when family obliga
tions forced Milsap out of the
classroom. Later, when raising his
own family, he would make certain
his own children, five boys and two
girls, would complete high school.
"Don't tell me it can't be done if
you have the interest," he said.
"You can be what you want to be."
Graduates received their diplomas
in a special presentation made by
RCC President Fred Williams and
Trustee Chairman A. D. Lewis, Jr.
Special recognition was given to 63
persons who this year passed the
GED exam and received a high
school diploma equivalency certifi
cate.
Ms. Kenney-Sloan, the keynote
speaker, challenged graduates to
move forward in their dreams and
goals.
"life, for you and me, is an
endless chain of experiences," she
said. "This is not the end. This is just
as far as we go for the moment....
"Set goals. Dream dreams. Make
every ending a real beginning."
