Mid-State Technical College's 2025 Spring Graduates

Wednesday, May 21st, 2025 -- 11:01 AM

Mid-State Technical College’s spring 2025 graduates were recognized during the College’s biannual commencement ceremony on the Wisconsin Rapids Campus, Saturday, May 17.

Out of a class of 777 graduates across the College's district, over 300 crossed the stage to receive their diploma at the event. “Today’s ceremony is truly all about you,” said Mid-State President Dr. Shelly Mondeik as she addressed the graduating class in her remarks.

“It’s a tribute to your hard work and your resilience and your determination, but it’s also a celebration for those who have stood by you, your family, your friends and your mentors, who shared in your challenges and your triumphs along the way.”

Diesel & Heavy Equipment Technician graduate Reid Tilberg, Arpin, delivered the student address. The faculty send-off was delivered by Scott Engel, Diesel & Heavy Equipment Technician instructor.

“As we celebrate this achievement, let us also look forward to the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead,” said Tilberg in his student address. “To all my fellow graduates, congratulations. Today marks the end of one chapter and the beginning of an exciting new one…. Be proud of how far you’ve come and stay confident in where you’re headed. The future is wide open, and I can’t wait to see all of the amazing things we’ll accomplish.”

The event also featured a keynote address from Joe Fonti, owner of Furniture & ApplianceMart and the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters. “Remember, you are ready for this new beginning,” said Fonti. “Go out into the world and dare to be great.”
