Gavilan College celebrated its largest graduating class during the 105th commencement ceremony. Many graduates showcased their individuality and gratitude through uniquely designed caps, including one heartfelt design crafted by a proud father’s children. It was a joyous day filled with pride as administration, faculty, families, and graduates came together, celebrating their accomplishments and standing proudly in their own caps.Morgan Hill Times printed: “Behind every graduate is a team of people who helped make the journey possible. Advisors, instructors, and tutors have all played a part. That support network continues to be one of Gavilan’s greatest strengths.”
