Hundreds of Students Apply for Commencement at Grad Check Fest
More than 200 Wolverines braved the rain to prepare for commencement at the Counseling
Department’s Grad Check Fest February 11.
In addition to meeting with counselors to apply for graduation and pre-registering for commencement festivities, students enjoyed breakfast and lunch, churros, a mobile coffee bar, special T-shirts, a photo op, and upbeat music. There was also a resource fair where students could learn more about San Bernardino Valley College’s affinity groups, get information about the Alumni Association and SBVC Foundation scholarships, and meet representatives from the University of Redlands and California Baptist University.
Counseling staff have been helping students apply for graduation since the start of the spring semester, and Grad Fest brought them together in one place, making it easier to guide more students through the submission process.
“It was a productive and rewarding day, and we’re glad so many students were able to take advantage of the support available,” Counselor Debbie Orozco said.
