37 Trumbull Students Graduate from HCC

Clad in their dark blue caps and gowns, 601 Housatonic Community College students ascended the stage at the Webster Bank Arena at Harbor Yard to receive degrees and certificates at the college’s 48th commencement.

BRIDGEPORT – Thirty-seven Trumbull residents were among the 601 degree and certificate recipients at Housatonic Community College’s recent 48th Commencement.
The graduates, clad in the dark blue Housatonic caps and gowns, gathered at the Webster Bank Arena at Harbor Yard to be honored for their achievements by a panel of dignitaries that included Dr. Paul Broadie II of Orange, HCC’s new president, attending his first commencement. With its 601 degree and certificate recipients, the class of 2015 is the third largest in the college history, behind The Class of 2014 with 668 recipients and the Class of 2013 with 636.
“It is very meaningful for me to stand before you this evening as the fifth president of Housatonic,” Dr. Broadie said. “As President, I am very proud to address this amazing class as one of my first official duties at the helm of this fine college.”
Housatonic has served as a foundation that fueled the graduates’ intellectual, personal and professional growth, he said. It served as a beacon of hope for them and a place where dreams became a reality.
“As you move beyond these walls, reflect on your success,” he said. “Reflect on the obstacles you overcame to get to this point. The same drive and passion that brought you this far will take you well into the future.”
