Montcalm Community College awarded 241 degrees and certificates May 1 during its 59th annual commencement ceremony in the gymnasium on the college’s Sidney campus.

Scott M. Keonigsknecht, Ed.D., Superintendent of the Clinton County Regional Education Service Agency, and Libby Berry, MCC student, addressed the graduates and their guests.

Berry began her speech by addressing her unique journey to graduating from MCC. Berry, a homeschooled student from Sheridan, started her Centurion journey at age 15 as a dual enrolled student.

“I remember sitting down in the very back, hoping nobody saw me, then looking around, and feeling at home,” Berry began. “There was community here. There was opportunity here. There was an atmosphere of students filled with potential, and instructors who saw that, and encouraged it.

“I wasn’t exactly comfortable, it was a whole new place,” she added. “And I definitely wasn’t confident yet, but something about MCC felt right. Like I had stepped into a place that was going to change me, even if I didn’t know how yet.”
