The North Idaho College 2015 Commencement Ceremony will be held in Christianson Gym at 10 a.m. Friday. About 340 graduation candidates are expected to walk this year out of about 1,000 eligible for graduation. This year's speaker at the commencement ceremony will be former NIC Communication instructor Mikki Stevens. In addition to her teaching career at both Highline Community College in Washington State and NIC, Stevens' career accolades include a variety of television, stage and film roles, dancing the lead with the American Film Institute, and providing the voice of the cartoon character Pebbles in The Flintstones. She is universally known as the originator of Mik's Red Hot Mamas, the musical comedy performance group we've all seen in Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. More here.

Question: I didn't attend my community college or four-year college graduations. Did you?
