Labor College Graduates’ Day in the ‘Sun’

by Tula Connell, Jun 28, 2007

Great coverage in the Baltimore Sun on the students in the National Labor College (NLC) graduating class.

More than 100 working women and men graduated from the NLC on Saturday, and it’s great that their efforts are getting the attention they rightly deserve. Quoted in the Sun is JoAnn Johntony, whose efforts to balance work and family seemed to preclude further education. Said Johntony, who is in her 60s and was one of two student representatives who delivered a commencement speech: 

Had this school never been here for working men and women, many of uswould never have been able to get a degree.

The graduates are among about 1,000 students who have earned degrees at the National Labor College during the past 10 years that it has operated as an independent institution.

National Labor College graduates are an inspiration to all of us. Read more about their great efforts in the Sun.
