"Commencement is always a special experience as we celebrate the accomplishments of our students," said Dr. Quentin R. Johnson, SVCC President. "I am very honored and excited to shake the hands of our deserving graduates as they walk across the stage."

SVCC will welcome executive leadership coach Troy Selberg from Charlotte, North Carolina as this year's commencement speaker.
