DANVERS — U.S Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll will act as the commencement speakers for North Shore Community College’s 58th annual commencement ceremony on Friday, May 17.
Warren will deliver the keynote address for the 10 a.m. ceremony for Health Professions and Liberal Studies graduates.
Driscoll will deliver the keynote address at the 2 p.m. ceremony for Human Services & STEM and Business graduates.
Both ceremonies will both be held at NSCC’s Lynn Campus, 300 Broad St..
The college expects to award approximately 700 associate degrees and certificates at the two graduation ceremonies.
“We are immensely proud to have Senator Warren and Lt. Governor Driscoll join us for our commencement ceremony, where we celebrate the achievements of our students. Their unwavering dedication to making higher education more accessible and affordable is truly appreciated and deeply respected,” stated North Shore Community College President William Heineman.
Warren is the longest serving U.S. senator from Massachusetts, and became the first woman ever in the Senate from Massachusetts after being elected in 2013.
Driscoll is the 73rd lieutenant governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and comprises the first all-women executive team to lead Massachusetts along with Gov. Maura Healey. The Healey-Driscoll administration has done significant work advancing tuition equity, including making community college free for all Massachusetts residents age 25 and older through the MassReconnect program.
