OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – Johnson County Community College (JCCC) continues to transform lives and strengthen communities. 2,684 students are graduating from JCCC on Friday, May 20, an increase of 5.3% over the number of graduates from the 2020-21 academic year.

This moment is especially significant for more than 700 Dean’s and President’s Honors students graduating with an impressive grade point average (GPA) of 3.50 or higher and for 195 graduates who are veteran or military affiliated.

Commencement speaker Lori Thomas, JCCC alum and National Junior College Athletics Association (NJCAA) Hall of Fame recipient, will share her passion for building a culture of character and leadership. Lori is currently in her eighth year as the first female Commissioner in National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) history for the Heart of America Athletic Conference.

This year’s commencement ceremonies are the first in-person graduation events at JCCC since May 2019. The COVID-19 pandemic forced the cancellation of the 2020 ceremony, and the 2021 Commencement was a virtual event.

JCCC’s 2022 Commencement ceremonies are at 4 and 7:30 p.m. in the Gymnasium and will be livestreamed on the College’s cable channel and video streaming website.
