More than 200 graduates from across Northwest Georgia will be walking the stage at the Dalton Convention Center Dec. 11 as they graduate from Georgia Northwestern Technical College.

The Dalton, Georgia resident represented the college in the GOAL competition this past spring in Atlanta. The GOAL program helps showcase the top students within the Technical College System of Georgia.

Assistant Dean of Business Technologies Graceful Beam and Automotive Technology Director Troy Peco will deliver the Pledge of Allegiance and Invocation, respectively.

All graduates participating in the ceremony will be recognized for their academic achievements and presented with their associate degrees, diplomas and certificates. Listed are graduates scheduled to take part in the commencement exercise for the Fall 2018 graduation ceremony.
