492 Fall 2023 Graduates From Mid-State Technical College

Tuesday, December 12th, 2023 -- 10:00 AM

Mid-State Technical College’s fall 2023 graduates were recognized during the College’s biannual commencement ceremony on the Wisconsin Rapids Campus, Saturday, Dec. 9. 

Out of a class of 492 graduates across the College's four campuses, 139 crossed the stage to receive their diploma at the event. The celebration highlighted the College’s Phlebotomy Technician program and included a faculty send-off by Nichol L. Riedel, Phlebotomy Technician instructor and program director.

The student address was delivered by Phlebotomy Technician graduate Veronica Line, Stevens Point. Riedel’s faculty address encouraged graduates to be patient when embarking on their career.

The event also featured an address from Mid-State’s Board Chairperson Richard Merdan and an alumni address from Mid-State’s 2023 Distinguished Alumni Award winner, Chet Laskowski, co-founder of Chet’s Plumbing & Heating, Inc.

Laskowski’s remarks highlighted the value of pride as “fuel” for motivation. Following is a partial list of local Mid-State’s fall 2023 graduates.
