Congratulations, Class of 2016

More than 500 students crossed the stage and became the newest Concordia College alumni on May 1.

Commencement also included the conferring of honorary degrees on Dr. Richard A. Green ’61 and Margaret M. Wong. 

Fay Ferguson ’73, co-CEO of Burrell Communications Group in Chicago, delivered a Commencement address pushing students to challenge themselves as they move into the next stage of their lives. “Only by stepping outside your comfort zone do you begin to understand and feel the joy of helping others,” Ferguson said. 

The beautiful weather created an ideal afternoon for families to gather near the bell tower and on Olin Hill following the ceremony.
