Western Nevada College is presenting traditional commencement ceremonies for the Class of 2024 on May 20 in Carson City and May 23 in Fallon.

"This is the most exciting day for me as we celebrate our graduates! I am pleased we can offer ceremonies in Carson City and Fallon," said WNC President Dr. J. Kyle Dalpe. "Our graduates have worked hard to reach this point and they and their families have made sacrifices in order to reach this milestone. I am so pleased to say 'CONGRATS' to each of them!"

As it has been for many graduation ceremonies in the past, Marv Teixeira Pavilion at Mills Park is the venue for the Carson City ceremony on Monday, May 20, starting at 10 a.m. The May 20 ceremony will be streamed live on YouTube. The video can be found at wnc.edu/live. 

The Fallon ceremony is moving to a new venue — the Venturacci Gym, 321 Venturacci Lane — on Thursday, May 23, at 9 a.m.

For each ceremony, Captain Shane Tanner of the Naval Air Station Fallon will deliver the commencement address. Tanner is a graduate of Texas A&M University and took over direction of the Naval Air Station Fallon in 2022.

President Dr. Dalpe will deliver opening remarks and Associated Students of Western Nevada President Suzanna Stankute will provide the welcoming message to students.
