So proud of all these graduates. You did it!

Last night, Fletcher Technical Community College celebrated more than graduations. We celebrated perseverance, courage, second chances, and the decision to keep going even when life gets hard.

The graduates of our WorkReady U program each arrived here by different paths. Some returned to education after years away from the classroom. Some balanced work, family, and responsibilities while completing the program. Some faced obstacles most people never see. But every graduate who crossed that stage made the choice to keep moving forward.

“One of the things that makes this work so special is that everybody gets here a different way,” shared Fletcher WorkReady U program director Jamie Chauvin during the ceremony. “Every one of these stories matters, not because they’re perfect or easy, but because they show courage.”

Among the graduates honored were 68-year-old Dinah Pitre Stallings and 66-year-old Shirley Billiot, whose joyful celebrations reminded everyone in the room that it is never too late to achieve a goal.

Chancellor Dr. Kristine Strickland reflected on the importance of continuing forward, even when the journey is difficult, reminding graduates that Fletcher believes in opening doors and creating opportunities for students at every stage of life.

To our graduates: we are proud of you. Thank you for allowing Fletcher to be part of your story. 💙

We are so proud to celebrate Mrs. Dinah Stallings, who will be joining our team next week in Indianapolis, Indiana for the National COABE Conference as a Student Ambassador.

When asked what being chosen means to her, Mrs. Dinah shared, “It is such an honor to have been chosen as a student ambassador. I have worked really hard, and I was determined to graduate. All of this was possible with the support of my family, friends and a great teacher.”

She also shared, “Fletcher WorkReady U has meant so much to me. I have gained a new family that I will always love and remember.”

And in words we hope inspire others, Mrs. Dinah said, “In February, I turned 68, and I want everyone to know that it is never too late to finish your education.”

Mrs. Dinah, thank you for representing Fletcher WorkReady U, your classmates, and adult education students everywhere. Thank you for being willing to share your story and inspire others through your journey.

Please join us in congratulating her on this special honor. ❤️
