<p class="MsoNormal">We are looking into making a few changes with regards to our diplomas and commencement ceremony and wanted to reach out to see what other institution’s practices were. We are a 2-yr college and in addition to associate degrees, we also
have one-year certificates that students can earn either along with their 2-yr degree or just on their own. Here are the questions I have:<o:p></o:p></p>
