<\/a>New Brunswick Community College (NBCC) campuses are abuzz as hundreds of students prepare to cross the stage at six graduation ceremonies this week.<\/p>\n

\u201cGraduation is the most exciting time for everyone at NBCC. It\u2019s the ultimate reminder of why we\u2019re all here \u2013 to transform lives and communities,\u201d said Marilyn Luscombe, President and CEO of NBCC. \u201cWe know that our graduates will leave NBCC with the skills that employers want and the community leadership skills to make a difference.\u201d A recent Graduate Follow-up Survey indicates that 90% of the 2014 graduates were employed within a year of graduating and 90% of employed NBCC graduates are working in New Brunswick.<\/p>\n

Six valedictorians from each of the campuses have been selected to represent the graduating class of 2016. NBCC\u2019s valedictorians are students graduating with Honours who have been nominated by their peers or faculty and interviewed by a selection committee. This year\u2019s valedictorians are as follows:<\/p>\n

\u00b7 NBCC Fredericton \u2013 Amy Hughes, Practical Nurse
\n\u00b7 NBCC Miramichi \u2013 Kristy Hathaway, Human Services
\n\u00b7 NBCC Moncton \u2013 Jace Patriquin, Truck and Transport Service Technician
\n\u00b7 NBCC St. Andrews \u2013 Meagan Colpitts, Practical Nurse
\n\u00b7 NBCC Saint John \u2013 Jodie O\u2019Neill, Respiratory Therapy
\n\u00b7 NBCC Woodstock \u2013 Phylea Fung, Early Childhood Education<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited to see this latest group of graduates join the more than 80,000 NBCC alumni who graduated before them and can\u2019t wait to hear how these students will go on to achieve great things,\u201d said Tom Meadus, Director of Advancement at NBCC.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese outstanding students will go on to contribute to the prosperity of New Brunswick,\u201d he said. \u201cWe see evidence of this every day by staying connected with our alumni, employers and industry partners.\u201d NBCC alumni are key drivers of the New Brunswick economy and provide an annual economic impact of more than $1 billion or 3.8% of the Gross Domestic Product.<\/p>\n
