College graduation is always a big event
As the economy continues to struggle, more people are choosing to go back to graduate programs in order to achieve personal growth. Not only could this help them develop skills that may be used in the working world, but students may also have the opportunity to establish career connections while they complete their coursework and internships.
New England College of Business and Finance (NECB) announced that it recently celebrated its 102nd commencement at the John Hancock Hall in Boston, Massachusetts. In all, there were approximately 163 graduates who received either an associate's, bachelor's or master's degree.
To commemorate the special occasion, former U.S. Secretary of Education, Dr. Roderick Paige, was on hand to give the commencement address to all of the students. Because he was there to speak to the students, he was given the college's first honorary doctorate of commerce.
During his speech, he told the students to "Embrace opportunities as they are presented – you just don't know if they will ever come around again."
