MADISON, FL – North Florida College honored 202 graduates during its Spring 2025 Commencement, held on May 9 at Van H. Priest Auditorium. To accommodate the graduating class and their guests, the College hosted two ceremonies, the first at 2:00 p.m. and the second at 5:00 p.m., celebrating students from a variety of academic programs.
The ceremonies featured retired NFL football player and guest speaker Jesse Solomon, who delivered an inspiring message to graduates as they crossed the stage to receive their degrees and certificates.
“I graduated NFC 45 years ago,” said Solomon. “I loved my experience at NFC. My teachers were amazing and encouraged me to pursue my dreams of playing football. After graduating, I went on to play at Florida State University and later in the NFL.”
Between the ceremonies, the NFC Library hosted a picnic-style 'gap party' for faculty and staff. The relaxed mid-day event provided a chance for colleagues to enjoy picnic-inspired refreshments and connect with one another in a casual, celebratory setting between ceremonies.
North Florida College extends heartfelt congratulations to the Class of 2025, celebrating their achievements and looking forward to the bright futures ahead.
