Mid-State Technical College marked the achievements of its newest graduates on Sunday, May 17, with a virtual graduation celebration on the College’s Facebook page. The video event included a congratulatory message from Mid-State President Dr. Shelly Mondeik as well as submitted photos and personal messages from 96 of Mid-State’s 346 spring graduates wearing their graduation cap and tassel and many faculty and staff.
