CCAC’s first commencement took place in 1968. During the early years of the college, each CCAC campus held its own commencement ceremony at different locations. One of those ceremonies was even attended by American actor, comedian and activist Dick Gregory!

On Wednesday, CCAC was visited by none other than astronaut and alumnus Mike Fincke! Mike took the time to speak with students about his career journey so that they too can reach for the stars. Learn more in the WTAE interview below. wtae.com/article/nasa-a…
