The Joy of Learning
Kirsten completed a certificate in allied health preparation and an associate degree in behavioral science. She has nothing but good things to say about her CCV experience—the support from her advisors, the enthusiasm of her instructors, and most of all, the informal education she received from fellow students. “[I was] learning a lot about strength and resilience” from her peers, she said, “and just meeting some amazing people who didn’t take the typical go-straight-to-college-after-high-school [route]…these people had life experiences. There were parents, there were people from the military, there were people with health conditions such as myself, and they all just kind of had a joy about them too, to be learning. I just have so much respect for the student body.”

We strongly encourage you and your guests to eat prior to arrival on the Norwich campus. There will be water available in both the Kreitzberg Arena and Shapiro Field House.
Personal Items
Please don’t bring any valuables or personal items (handbags, clothing, umbrellas, etc.) with you to Kreitzberg Arena; you may not leave anything there and should not carry things with you once the processional departs. There is no opportunity to store these items in the arena.
Photography
Island Photography, a professional photography company, will be taking photographs of each graduate as they are recognized during the ceremony. Within 48 hours of commencement, you will receive an email with a secure link and PIN to view and order your photos. You can also add your friends and family so they may receive a direct link to your proofs. This information will be sent to your CCV email account.
Informal photos will be available on the graduation page of the CCV website approx. one week after graduation. These are free of charge for you to download and share.
