Record-setting class of 2021 graduates from Salina Tech
Families and friends gathered at Tony’s Pizza Events Center Saturday afternoon to watch the second graduation inside the building that day, celebrating the Salina Area Technical College’s graduating class of 2021.
Salina Tech leaders and faculty celebrated 137 students that ranged in age from 17 to 51 and came from all over Kansas and beyond.
President Greg Nichols said they were unsure for a time whether the event would happen in person, and thanked all staff and students for enduring the past year before introducing the commencement speaker, Chief Warrant Officer 4 Brent Campbell, a senior ordnance officer with the 235th Regiment of the Kansas Army National Guard.
