Northland Community & Technical College is proud to announce its upcoming spring commencement ceremonies, honoring the achievements of students completing programs during the 2025–26 academic year. A total of 641 students will be recognized for successfully earning degrees, diplomas, and certificates.
The commencement ceremony for the Thief River Falls campus is scheduled for Thursday, May 14, at 6:30 p.m. in the Northland gymnasium. The East Grand Forks campus will hold its ceremony on Friday, May 15, at 11:00 a.m. at the Chester Fritz Performing Arts Center in Grand Forks, ND.
“Graduation is a meaningful milestone that reflects the dedication, perseverance, and hard work of our students—many of whom have balanced their education with careers, families, and other responsibilities,” said Dr. Shari Olson, President of Northland Community & Technical College. “This achievement is also a testament to the commitment of our faculty and staff, who support and guide students every step of the way. We are incredibly proud of the Class of 2026 and look forward to the impact they will make in their careers and communities.”
For those unable to attend in person, both ceremonies will be available via online live stream. A link to view the live stream will be accessible on the college’s website, allowing family, friends, and supporters to watch from anywhere on computers, mobile devices, and smart TVs. Each ceremony is expected to last approximately 90 minutes.
