Chattahoochee Tech Honors Graduates with Fall 2022 Commencement Ceremonies

Chattahoochee Technical College honored graduates during two commencement ceremonies held Thursday, Dec. 15, at the Clarence Brown Conference Center in Cartersville.

Over 550 Chattahoochee Tech students petitioned to graduate this fall, with 300 of them participating in the commencement ceremonies. These students crossed the stage to receive their associate degree, diploma or technical certificate of credit in programs of study designed to help them become highly skilled professionals in some of the nation’s fastest-growing, high-demand career fields. Delivering the commencement address at both ceremonies was Chattahoochee Tech Radiography instructor Malcolm Paschall, the college’s 2022 Rick Perkins Instructor of the Year award recipient. “We put our heart and soul into what we teach,” said Paschall. “Your success is our success. I’m incredibly proud of you all, and this is what makes it worthwhile.”
