In The News | Students from all walks of life graduate from Three Rivers Community College in virtual ceremony

Norwich, CT (The Day, May 29, 2021) — More than 400 graduates from Three Rivers Community College were celebrated on Saturday in a virtual commencement ceremony.

The prerecorded ceremony combined video montages of students learning, online profiles of graduates, speeches and video footage of in-person events held earlier this month where each graduate — from this year and last year — was able to walk across a stage dressed in their cap and gown.

Although the college gave students the opportunity to walk in a traditional commencement-like ceremony on May 7, the soon-to-be graduates couldn’t bring along their family members or friends because of the COVID-19 pandemic and didn’t receive their diplomas that day. Students were invited to pick up their diplomas this past week in a drive-thru processional.

The roughly 450 students officially graduated on Saturday during the online ceremony where faculty and staff members read every graduate’s name, and families and friends were welcome to log on and watch. Graduates included several high school students who earned their associate degrees while still in high school, a 74-year-old, a single mother, a father-and-son duo and nine valedictorians — the highest number of honorees the school has ever had.

Though the ceremony — the 56th annual commencement for Three Rivers — wasn’t what most students likely expected of their college graduation, faculty and staff said they were committed to honoring every student who persevered through the pandemic to earn their degree or certificate.

“Graduates of the Class of 2021, I recognize this is not the graduation you dreamed about with family and friends cheering you on as you walked across the stage,” said Mary Ellen Jukoski, president of Three Rivers Community College, who recognized that many members of the class were first-generation college graduates. 

Jukoski said the school was honored to celebrate students who come “from all walks of life, each with your own unique story,” and highlighted the stories of a few students who overcame obstacles to earn their diplomas this month, including a single mother of three who worked full-time while attending school and a student who was pursuing a career in human services after suffering from substance use disorder and being incarcerated.

Jukoski applauded the resilience of every graduate who achieved their academic goals while surviving a global pandemic that drastically changed their learning experience.

“As a class you have shown resilience and strength to complete your courses when the year was disrupted by the pandemic,” she said. “You faced the challenge of remote learning with perseverance and an unwavering resolve so that you could make your graduation today a reality.”

Allen Lyon, vice president of student government, graduated with an associate degree in environmental engineering technology and delivered the student address for the virtual ceremony. He shared the struggles he endured as he and his classmates pivoted to online learning during the pandemic.

“The pandemic has challenged me in ways I could have never imagined, it has challenged all of us,” Lyon said. “I went from seeing my Three Rivers friends and studying with them to being locked in my house and going it alone; I went from seeing my Three Rivers professors face to face to watching them glitch on (video calls).”

Despite its challenges, he said the pandemic forced him to value things he took for granted and give himself more credit for what he was capable of.

“We have our cap and gown and I realize now that if COVID can’t stop us from achieving our goals, nothing can,” the graduate said.

Three Rivers has students from a wide variety of backgrounds and ages, providing many an education they might not be able to get otherwise.

David Medina, 53, graduated with his general studies associate degree, after getting his construction management certificate from Three Rivers in 2012 and then taking classes on and off and part time. He graduated with his son.

Medina said that growing up in a rough neighborhood in New Jersey, he was told he’d never amount to anything, and he accepted that as a part of life. But he saw joining the U.S. Marine Corps as a way out, and his experience in the Marines from 1986 to 1990 showed him he could go to college.

“That’s why I pushed my kids to go, and that’s why I wanted to finish, to show them you could go and you can go,” he said.

Medina, who has mostly been working in carpentry since, said he went to college in his 20s but didn’t finish, as he needed to put his kids and his job first. Unfortunately, he then lost a lot of credits moving from New Jersey to Connecticut; he now lives in Norwich.

“It’s a long journey,” he said, and he credits his wife with pushing him to finish.

Grace Carlos, 21, said she is grateful she went to Three Rivers because it allowed her to figure out what she wanted to do: She entered as an engineering science major but realized she wasn’t passionate about it, and she was easily able to change her major to liberal arts and sciences.

“I probably would not have been able to do that at a four-year school, because that’s a lot of money to just change your major around,” she said with a laugh. Carlos is sticking around to take four more classes to get a CSCU Pathway degree in political science, meaning she’ll have two associate degrees.

She then wants to transfer to a four-year school to get her bachelor’s degree in political science. She said her interest in political science arose from working in the president’s office at Three Rivers, which involved interacting with elected officials.

The Montville student helped with the campaigns of Democratic state legislature candidates Baird Welch-Collins and Matt Geren last year, organized a gathering in Montville in July to encourage civic engagement among young people, and interned in the office of Lt. Gov. Susan Bysiewicz in the fall.

Nine students were named as valedictorian on Saturday for their exemplary academic performance this year, which included completing all of their program requirements while maintaining a 4.0 GPA: Raleigh N. Aboy, Yamila N. Garcia, Valerie Glover, Anastasia Larionova, Katja A. Sieling, Sarah M. Walsh, Amanda E. Williams, Ara Wilnas and Paul Urbanowicz Jr.

Faculty and staff read the names of every graduate on Saturday, starting with 2020 graduates who weren’t able to walk because of the pandemic.

Jukoski and other members of the staff and faculty, including Kem Barfield, interim dean of academic and student affairs and Diba Khan-Bureau ’96, chair of the faculty senate, congratulated students on their commencement and their new roles as proud alumni of the college.

Jukoski told graduates that their graduation marked a step toward changing the world.

“Your graduation is an invitation to use your education to begin to heal the afflictions of society by applying the best of what you have learned in your head and felt in your heart,” Jukoski said. “As a class you have the power to stand for healthier conditions that will create a healthier society.”

She said she hopes graduates will go on to “create more equity, more justice and more joy in the world.”

Three Rivers College Foundation Awards Additional $250,000 in Scholarships for Spring Term to help with Pandemic

The Three Rivers College Foundation is excited to announce that it will give out an additional $250,000 in scholarships and awards for the 2021 Spring Semester to assist current Three Rivers Community College students with the many difficulties they are facing due to the Pandemic. The monies will be used to remove financial barriers such as tuition, books, fees, online learning codes, and technology needs.

Current Three Rivers students can complete a brief online application at www.trcc.commnet.edu/student-support, which will be reviewed by a small committee of administrators, faculty, and staff. Funds will be awarded until the monies are exhausted.

According to the TRC Foundation Scholarship Chair, Nikki Gullickson, “The TRC Foundation recognizes the need to expand our current scholarship offerings to assist students in registering for and completing the Spring term. This funding will complement our current Summer and Fall program that awards over an additional $400,000 annually. Many of our most vulnerable students have been greatly impacted by the COVID-19 crisis, and now, more than ever, students need this financial assistance to achieve the education they have been working hard to attain.”

In March, when COVID-19 hit, the Three Rivers College Foundation Board also enacted emergency funding and purchased 60 laptops to assist students and faculty during the crisis. The laptops remain on-loan for students in need. Students can apply for a laptop at www.trcc.commnet.edu/computer-loan.

As the College works in new ways to provide educational opportunities for success, the TRC Foundation will remain flexible in providing additional support to students as they build a brighter future for themselves, their families and our shared community.

Those would like to contribute to the fund, can visit www.threerivers.edu/giving to donate today.

$20,000 vs $2,278 or less, same basic courses, all online. What’s your choice?

This is the fall semester you were planning …

You’re looking forward to starting your freshman year at your selected 4-year college. You’ve been accepted, you’re going to get the full on-campus experience, you’re hoping to be assigned to a dorm,

This is the reality …

 

Chance are, you’ll be at home taking your basic required college courses online from your 4-year college. And paying as much as $20,000 or more for tuition and fees!

Instead, you could be taking the same basic required courses and paying only $2,278 for tuition and fees. That’s a real savings that could go to pay for your on-campus college experience when they reopen.

Don’t spend big bucks on tuition if you can’t get your on-campus experience this fall.

Go locally to Three Rivers, take your basic required courses that will transfer, and get your on-campus experience in 2021 when their costs become worth the expense. Learn more about tuition expenses here.

Here’s what you’ll get at Three Rivers …

Academics that will challenge you

Courses at Three Rivers are not sleep-through throwaways. They’re rigorous, offering the same 3-credits when you’re done. And if you’re starting your college career this fall, the first few semesters are mostly general education courses that all colleges and universities require.

Fulfill your basic requirements with courses like:[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1588945362215{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]

Faculty that care about YOUR Success

At Three Rivers, you will never be taught by graduate students. You’ll take classes with faculty who work here because they love teaching. Plus, you’ll learn in small classrooms that average 20 students, not 100-200 student lecture halls, and receive individual attention. The faculty at Three Rivers will know you by your name, not as a number.

Many of our faculty have real world experience as professionals in their fields. Our faculty include a Fulbright Scholar, a poet laureate,  nursing award-winners, the head of an accounting firm, and an engineer whose pandemic design increased the capacity of ventilators.

Kim Moore, a recent graduate from the Nursing Program, said, “From the moment I came here, every professor, every person that works here was dedicated to making me the best possible person I could be.”

And of course, the cost is significant. Why pay $20,000 for a semester of online classes when you could spend $2,278?

You can take the same required classes you’d take at your 4-year college at Three Rivers for a fraction of the cost. Plus, you can transfer those credits to the college of your choice.
