Commencement Ceremony to be Held May 12

Redlands Community College is celebrating the graduation of over 200 students Friday, May 12, with degrees that have prepared them to continue their education at a four-year university or begin making an impact in the workforce. Over 40 of the students will graduate with more than one degree or certificate.

“We are proud of these graduates who have demonstrated the dedication and drive that will serve them well in the future,” said Redlands President Jack Bryant. “Redlands is a special college because of the students who have chosen to get their start on promising careers on our campus.”

A college degree is a significant investment of time and money, and although Redlands hasn’t increased tuition in several years, many students work hard to save money and apply for scholarships to be able to earn their degree with very little to no debt. 

“I received the Presidential Scholarship which has significantly helped me not to worry about money during my time at Redlands,” Lily Dilbeck said. “This recognition has also kept me motivated, and it has allowed me to pursue more opportunities for my future.”

Dilbeck, of Oklahoma City, is graduating summa cum laude with an associate degree in Psychology and certificate of mastery in Human/Social Services Assistant. She will be transferring to the University of Central Oklahoma where she will prepare for a career in social work by pursuing a master’s degree in Psychology.

Graduates are receiving associate degrees in Arts, Applied Science and Science, as well as Certificates of Mastery in areas such as Child Development, Artificial Insemination in Livestock and Human/Social Services Assistant.

“As a remote student and busy employee, I have greatly benefitted from Redlands’ offering of online courses that have given me the flexibility to keep working and studying on a full-time schedule,” said Trenton Jones, of Yukon. He is graduating summa cum laude with an associate degree in Liberal Studies and transferring to the University of Oklahoma where he will be pursuing a degree in Applied Linguistics.

While the graduates are ready to take the next step in their education or careers, many of them leave Redlands with fond memories of faculty, staff and courses.

Kaci Hayden, of El Reno, graduating cum laude with a degree in Liberal Studies said, “I absolutely love the environment at Redlands. They make you feel so welcome and not just like a number.”

Dilbeck added, “My experience at Redlands has been awesome. I never thought my path would lead here, but I found professors, peers, and mentors who have helped me grow into the woman I am today. I will be forever grateful for the opportunities given to me here.”

Tommi Willey, of Minco, will be pursuing licensure as a nurse. She said “My experience here at Redlands has been nothing short of amazing. The faculty and staff here are attentive and always willing to help.”

Dr. David Hall, founder of The Ideas Centre Ltd., will deliver the commencement address. With 25 years of experience in board level leadership in a range of sectors, Hall coaches businesses of all types to unblock breakthrough thinking, introducing an ideas culture that drives the innovation process.

The commencement ceremony will be held at 11 a.m. Friday in the Jenks Simmons Fieldhouse and livestreamed on the college’s website at www.redlandscc.edu/graduation-2023.
