Clatsop Community College’s 2018 GED Graduation will honor 43 students at a ceremony on Friday, June 6th at 5:30p.m. in the Columbia Hall Community Room (Columbia 219), 1651 Lexington Avenue, Astoria. The ceremony recognizes students who passed the GED® exam and earned a high school equivalent credential during the past year. The featured speakers at this year’s ceremony will be Edward Gutierrez, a Communication Specialist from Portland and is a former GED graduate.

The new student lounge on the Lexington campus is now open for student use. Through donations and a small budget, Student Government and the Student Services Office at CCC were able to gather furniture and items to create a welcoming environment for students to use for study, play, or socializing. The student lounge has been named the Bandit Burrow and is located in the Services Building next to Columbia Hall. Students can use the space from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday this spring term and hours will be evaluated for summer and fall to meet the needs of the students.
