CCC Marks New Chapter with Commencement Ceremonies at Strand Theatre

Clinton Community College will hold its May commencement ceremonies at the Strand Center for the Arts Theatre in downtown Plattsburgh, its first commencement since co-locating on SUNY Plattsburgh’s campus.

Both the Spring Commencement ceremony and the Nursing Capping and Pinning ceremony will take place at the Strand Theatre. Commencement will be held Friday, May 15, at 6 p.m., followed by the Nursing Capping and Pinning ceremony on Saturday, May 16, at 9 a.m.

The ceremonies are free and open to the public, and no tickets are required.

Parking will be available in the Durkee Street lot, the public lot behind the Strand Theatre and nearby on-street parking. The two parking lots immediately adjacent to the theatre will not be available for guest parking. Volunteers will be on site to assist and help direct drivers to available parking options.

Guests who require accessible parking or seating are asked to RSVP in advance.

Restored approximately 10 years ago, the Strand Theatre has become a centerpiece of the community, regularly hosting high-profile events and performances.

“We are thrilled to celebrate our graduates at the Strand,” said Acting President Ken Knelly. “Honoring our students in one of the most iconic venues in the North Country is especially significant as we mark Clinton Community College’s 60th anniversary. We look forward to welcoming families, friends and members of the community as we celebrate this important milestone with our graduates.”

For those unable to attend in person, recordings of the ceremonies will be made available online following the events.
