About the blogger
- Diana Parker
- I'm in my second year as the College Recruitment Officer, and it's gratifying to see so many of the people I helped get started here in classes and moving toward brighter futures. I'm a true education advocate, having earned a bachelor's degree in English from the University of New Mexico and a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from the University of Utah. I've also worked in public relations and as a newspaper reporter and a librarian.

Our hopes are pinned on them
The next few days are our harvest time. It's the sometimes frantic culmination of a long growing season--the academic year. The pomp and circumstance begins with a full dance card of pinning ceremonies for our various allied health graduates. Newly minted nurses, surgical technologists, physical therapist assistants, dental assistants and dental hygienists all earn their own hardware above and beyond the traditional cap-and-gown affair Friday at 3 p.m. at the Mohave Crossing Event Center in Fort Mohave. Of course, Commencement is the real prize students eyes have been on since they started their particular educational journeys. Graduates who've earned associate's degrees, certificates and even GEDs will tread the boards and shift their tassels from right to left. Be there or be square.
