ROCKFORD, Ill. (June 28, 2012) – Rasmussen College will celebrate the graduation of approximately 130 students from its Rockford Campus on Friday, June 29, 2012.

The graduates, who all completed their required coursework during the past six months, will be presented certificates, diplomas, associate’s and bachelor’s degrees from the Schools of Business, Criminal Justice, Education, Health Sciences, and Technology and Design.
“We are so proud of what our students have accomplished, and we are confident that the skills and education they obtained at Rasmussen College has given them the foundation they need to be successful in their career and in life,” said Craig Steege, campus director at the Rasmussen College Rockford campus. “Our students are great examples of academic achievement in our community; this is their day to be recognized for their hard work and determination and we wish them all the best.”
Dr. Ehren Jarrett, the assistant superintendent for the Rockford Public Schools, will deliver the keynote address at the commencement ceremony. Earning his doctorate in Educational Leadership, Dr. Jarrett has dedicated his life to education and preparing the next generation for success. Prior to coming to Rockford Public Schools, he served as principal of Hononegah Community High School.
