Students, family, friends, faculty and staff jammed the Shoreline Community College gymnasium on June, 5, 2011 for the 47th commencement exercises at the college.
Speaking were student Daniel DeMay and faculty member Stephen McCloskey. DeMay used his own story as a high school dropout to illustrate that life’s path can be changed. A business instructor, McCloskey’s comments were along the same theme, telling the soon-to-be-graduates that is was he who was honored to be learning from them.
