The A&M-Central Texas Spring 2024 Commencement was held on Saturday, May 11 at the Cadence Bank Center (formerly known as the Bell County Expo Center).
Officials from the registrar’s office said that an estimated 275 undergraduate degrees and 73 graduate degrees were received, increasing the number of A&M-Central Texas degrees awarded since 2009 to a 15-year total of 10,837.
Not only did the ceremony mark the graduation of 348 students, it also recognized 26 of the graduates who were also A&M-Central Texas ROTC cadets being officially commissioned as second lieutenants in the U.S. Army.
A&M-Central Texas President, Dr. Richard M. Rhodes, said that the entire university community looks forward to every graduation because it marks important milestones for both the graduates – many of whom are the first in their families to earn a university degree.
“Every graduate who puts on their cap and gown, takes their place in the procession into the ceremony, and walks across the stage is an inspiration to all of us,” he said. “When they take that degree into their hands, they are walking into a future of prosperity and pride in accomplishment, and every faculty and staff member who contributed to their educational journey celebrates with them.”
