Over 800 Tennessee Tech students graduate Friday.
Tech will host two commencement ceremonies at the Hooper Eblen Center.
“It’s one of the best days for students celebrating their accomplishments and the hard work they put into earning their degrees and for families to get to come and watch them celebrate that and see the results of all that hard work pay off,” Brand Communication Director Bailey Phonsnasinh said.
Phonsnasinh said the first graduation ceremony begins at 9:00 a.m. with the second starting at 1:00 p.m. Phonsnasinh said the program will include recorded messages from alumni, graduating students and a send off from President Phil Oldham.
“We have a couple pre-recorded messages of just people offering their encouragement, talking about the college experience and what is ahead for them,” Phonsnasinh said. “Our alumni from the university have great stories.”
Phonsnasinh said Cookeville residents should expect heavier traffic near campus. Phonsnasinh said parking will be available at multiple areas on campus. The lot in front of the Hooper Eblen Center the most common.
