Turner College Fall 2023 Graduation Ceremony Set for December 8th

This Friday, December 8, CSU will celebrate the 734 Columbus State University students who comprise its Fall 2023 graduating class. The festivities will include three ceremonies throughout the day that mark the university’s 126th commencement exercises. The Turner College, which will confer 172 degrees, will kick off events with a 9:00 am graduation ceremony. Computer science professor Shamim Khan will be serving as one of the marshals at this ceremony. Counting all academic levels, the top five disciplines — in order of the total number of degrees and certificates to be awarded — are public safety, business administration, nursing, cybersecurity and health science. Two of these five disciplines are housed in the Turner College. This fall’s ceremonies will mark the first over which Stuart Rayfield will preside as the university’s president. She began her tenure in June 2023 and was formally installed as the university's sixth president in October 2023. 
     Each of Friday’s ceremonies will feature Bárbara Rivera Holmes as the university’s commencement speaker. Holmes is one of the 19 regents who volunteer their service to govern the University System of Georgia's 26 public colleges and universities. Each is appointed by the governor to represent one of the state’s 14 congressional districts or to fill one of five at-large appointments. Holmes, who represents Georgia’s 2nd congressional district, is the president and CEO of the Albany Area Chamber of Commerce — one of the state’s largest and most dynamic business advocacy organizations, supporting member business enterprises, civic organizations, educational institutions and individuals.
