HONORING THE CLASS OF 2022

College of the Canyons hosted multiple celebrations for its 2022 graduates to honor their tenacity, dedication and persistence. Smaller ceremonies honored specific student groups in the weeks leading up to graduation. This year marked the return to a traditional commencement ceremony in the Honor Grove, held for the first time since 2019.
