• DO THE WAVE: Students at Cuesta’s 49th annual commencement ceremony interacted with each other and their friends and family members who came to support them from the audience.

We don’t cover much in the way of pomp and circumstance in this paper, but we felt that this week, we could all use a reminder of the good and the progress there is in this world.

Join us in celebrating the 724 students who graduated from Cuesta College; 180 of them walked in the 49th annual commencement ceremony this past May 23.

The students, from 17 to 67 years old, earned a collective 900 degrees.
