With a graduating class of almost 300, Georgia Gwinnett College brought its total number of Grizzly alumni to more than 2,200 this week. As Angelo F. Cifuentes of Lawrenceville crossed the stage at the Gwinnett Arena Thursday he was introduced as the 2,000th graduate of GGC.
Cifuentes said that his “biggest challenge has been to work night shift for four years while attending school and finding time to spare with my son with special needs, teenage daughter and my wife, who has been my moral support throughout all these years.”
Georgia Congressman Rob Woodall (R-7th District) presented the ceremony’s keynote address with, “I wish the four pillars of GGC upon you in abundance – scholarship, leadership, service and creativity – as you take the next step toward living the American dream.”
The commencement also marks the college’s graduation of its first five international students, foreign students who came to the United States to attend college.
