The End? 🎓

Things are just getting started!

For Starr Edwards, commencement was both a return and a new beginning.

Starr first graduated from CCAC in 2018 with a degree in general studies. Afterward, she worked as a home healthcare provider for patients with mental disabilities, but she eventually decided to return to school to pursue her passion for medical laboratory work. Edwards attended Bidwell Training Center’s chemical laboratory technician program, but without the credentials and certifications needed for hospital lab positions, she was unable to enter the field.

CCAC’s Medical Laboratory Technician program offered a path forward as the only comparable accredited program in the area. Without that local option, Edwards said she would not have been able to pursue the career.

Edwards plans to work in the field for a few years before continuing her education, completing a bachelor’s degree, and becoming a medical laboratory scientist.

Congratulations, Starr!

Picture-perfect moments. 📸

Graduates, keep an eye on your CCAC email! We will be sending out photos from the Commencement photo booth this week.

Congratulations to the CCAC Class of 2026! We can't wait to see where your education takes you. 🐾🎓
