Blue Ridge Community College will honor the graduating Class of 2025 on Saturday, May 10, 2025, during two commencement ceremonies held at 9 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. on the Henderson County Campus.
“Blue Ridge Community College’s commencement is a powerful reminder of what education makes possible for our graduates and industries,” said Blue Ridge President Dr. Laura B. Leatherwood. “Each graduate’s success story reflects their resilience and commitment, as well as our college’s work to fuel regional recovery, growth, and prosperity through learning. It has been our honor to support the Class of 2025 along this path to achievement.”
During the ceremony, graduates will be honored for completing their programs, and this year’s keynote speaker will be Mike Krause, managing director of the John M. Belk Endowment.
The event takes place in the Blue Ridge Conference Hall located inside the Technology Education and Development Center at 49 East Campus Drive in Flat Rock.
