 Well, when you graduate from high school or from a college or university, it's common to have this ceremony at the school you're graduating from. For several years though, that wasn't the case at Central Lakes College in Brainerd. Hady Clodder shows us how CLC is going back to its old ways. The last time Central Lakes College held its graduation ceremony on campus, it was in the mid-90s. The school is going back to a tradition by having this year's ceremony on campus. I've done so much good stuff that's happened here. I want to bring all my relatives here basically to check out the campus and see where I graduated from. For Hannah Maloney continuing her education was a simple choice. Despite being really worried about what college, going to college was going to do to me financially, CLC turned out to be a really great option. CLC's graduation is usually held at Brainerd High School to accommodate graduating students and their families. There was a proposal brought forward to bring it back to campus to make sure that students who spent their time on our campus could celebrate their graduation on our campus. The thought of Maloney not accepting her degree from the school she's attended for the last two years made her reconsider participating in graduation. And if I went to the high school, that wouldn't be as fun. About 1,000 CLC students applied for graduation, but less than half from the Staples and Brainerd campus are expected to walk in the ceremony. Brainerd's graduation will be held in the gym and in the campus commons at Staples. Maloney is also the commencement speaker and her presence will be needed. I'm just really glad that I'll be able to have pictures taken of me graduating at CLC. For Dr. Hera Charlie or this year's ceremony will also have a special meaning for her because she's in the first year as a president of CLC. They have told us that it means a lot to them to celebrate what they consider a significant accomplishment right on the campus where they've been working so hard. Maloney says many students are now on board with attending the ceremony because of the location back on campus in Brainerd, Haiti, Clotter, Lakeland News. And there will be one graduation ceremony at the Staples campus and two at the Brainerd campus on May 10th and 11th.
