The College of Eastern Idaho convened the first-ever commencement ceremonies held in the Mountain
America Center on Tuesday evening.
Graduates in blue robes were individually recognized and received their graduation certificates from the
college's administration and faculty. The vast majority of the graduates already have secured jobs or will
continue their studies as juniors at four-year universities. More than 400 awards — 296 associate
degrees and 119 certificates — were presented at the ceremony, a CEI news release said.
