The Lead.
To the sounds of cheers and applause, Marion Technical College awarded degrees and certificates to 374 students on May 12 at the Marion Palace Theatre. These graduates ranged in age from 17 to 59 years old. They came from 27 Ohio counties. They include nine military veterans and 22 high school students who received associate’s degrees at no cost to them or their families before they graduated from high school through the College Credit Plus program. This saved these students and their families at least a quarter of a million dollars in tuition, books, and fees.

“You know the saying, ‘Get to Next.' Well, you’ve arrived! We’re very proud of you. Congratulations!” said Kit Fogle, vice chair of the Marion Technical College Board of Trustees.
Dr. Ryan McCall, president of Marion Technical College, encouraged students to know their motivation and focus on what they could give to the community.
