Congratulations to our Classes of 2017!
May 21, 2017
On Sunday, May 21, 2017, commencement ceremonies were held for our undergraduate and graduate candidates for the spring 2017. Join us in congratulating this new class of PNCA alumni!
We would like to extend our greatest respect and hearty applause to all our 2017 graduating students – undergraduate and graduate alike. This past Sunday, May 21, 2017, our commencement ceremonies were held at Portland's Tiffany Center. Intermedia student Justine Highsmith delivered the undergraduate valedictorian address while Carla Javier Brea and Savanna Youngquist of the MFA in Print Media program delivered the graduate address. Andi Zeisler of Bitch Media joined us as guest commencement speaker. And as the students exited the hall, the Last Regiment of Syncopated Drummers, as they do every year, played the students out of the ceremony and into the world.
Please join us in celebrating and welcoming this new class of PNCA alumni!
