     Yavapai College continues to prove its powerful role as a transformative force in northern Arizona, announcing the graduation of 1,258 students in 2024-2025. This milestone reflects the College’s unwavering commitment to accessible, inclusive, and career-focused education across the region.
    The graduates were honored at Yavapai College’s 55th Commencement Ceremonies this past weekend at the YC Verde Valley Campus in Clarkdale and the Findlay Toyota Center in Prescott Valley.
    The data highlights a vibrant and diverse graduating class, comprising healthcare professionals, first responders, skilled tradespeople, business owners, and more, now credentialed and ready to help shape the future workforce of Yavapai County. The graduating class includes:
    • 60 Baccalaureate Degrees – A testament to YC’s expanding four-year program offerings.
    • 599 Associate Degrees – Equipping students with foundational and career-ready credentials.
    • 1,014 Certificates and 253 Arizona General Education Certificates – Empowering workforce development and specialized skills training across vital industries.
    • Graduates range in age from 15 to 80, proving that lifelong learning is not just a phrase—it’s a lived reality at Yavapai College.
    • 30 graduates over 55 and 159 under 18 highlight YC’s reach, from dual-enrollment high school students to older adults embracing new opportunities.
    • With an average graduate age of 27.1, the college supports traditional and non-traditional learners as they forge paths to brighter futures.
    “These numbers don’t just represent credentials—they represent lives changed,” said Dr. Lisa Rhine, President of Yavapai College. “Whether entering the workforce, transferring to four-year institutions, or advancing their careers, our graduates are leading the charge in shaping Yavapai County’s economic and civic future.”
    As Yavapai College continues to innovate through new programs and partnerships, it remains a vital engine for personal growth and community prosperity. The College congratulates its graduates and invites the broader community to celebrate their accomplishments—proof that education at YC is not just about degrees; it’s about transformation.

    Hey Papi
    Happy Father’s Day Papi!

    How’s it going up there in heaven? It’s Father’s Day here on Earth, and I’m thinking of you—missing you—now that I’m one year older than you were when you passed away. I just want to thank you for everything you taught me. Thank you for taking such good care of me. Thank you for helping me walk when I couldn’t walk. Thank you for making me strong against all adversity. Thank you for teaching me how to look behind the scenes and see what’s not being shown.
