Butler County Community College is getting ready to celebrate the graduation of the latest class of students later this week.
The college’s 56th graduation ceremony is planned for Wednesday at 5 p.m. in the Field House of the BC3 main campus in Butler Township.
79-year-old David Huseman will deliver the keynote address after spending nearly 57 years as a BC3 employee including as director of the BC3 Center for Economic Education since it was founded in 1983.
Close to 500 BC3 graduates, including a record 98 nursing students, will be among the last to shake the hand of BC3 President Dr. Nick Neupauer before he retires from the position later this year.
