College News

At 9 a.m., Applied Technology and Health and Public Services graduates will participate in commencement followed by a ceremony featuring Business and Humanities and Science, Technology, Agriculture and Math (STAM) graduates at 12 p.m. Events will conclude at 3 p.m. as nursing graduates will receive their nurse pins and participate in commencement. All guests must have a ticket to be admitted to commencement ceremonies. 

As of Thursday, May 2, some 919 graduates, including those earning more than one degree, and those who completed their studies this past summer and fall, are to be listed in the commencement program. Several students have earned more than one degree.  

Hunter Oestreich, a Battle Creek High School graduate, will be the student speaker at 9 a.m. and 12 p.m. Oestreich is being awarded an associate of arts degree with a concentration in graphic design. While at Northeast, Oestreich was a student-athlete on the men’s basketball team and served as team captain this past year. He was named First Team Academic All-Region in both semesters during his freshman year by the Iowa Community College Athletic Association (ICCAC) and received Third Team National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) All-Academic honors. He was named Second Team Academic All-Region the fall semester of his sophomore year. Also during his sophomore year, he served as a Resident Assistant and participated in the Student Leadership Development Series. 

After graduation, Oestreich plans to attend the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to pursue a bachelor’s degree in business administration and marketing.  

Lisa Guenther is the faculty speaker. She is in her 44th year of teaching. She graduated from Laurel Concord High School and attained her bachelor's degree in elementary education/special education from Wayne State College. She received her master’s degree from the University of South Dakota, Vermillion, and has many graduate credit hours beyond her master's degree in reading instruction, Reading Recovery, and early childhood education. 

Guenther taught for the Norfolk Public Schools for 35 years, teaching first grade, Title Reading and Reading Recovery. She then became the director of Reading for Norfolk Catholic Schools. In 2014, she joined Northeast Community College as an early childhood education instructor. Lisa and her husband, Jerry, have three children, Laura, Molly, and Joe. Both Molly and Joe are Northeast Community College graduates. 

Tom Wilson will be the student speaker at 3 p.m. Wilson is a nontraditional student who decided later in life to become a nurse. In his past life he was an actor, bus driver, bartender, caregiver, and all-around jack-of-all trades before deciding to become a nurse. He is excited to take on his new role of nurse. Wilson was the Student Nursing Association president and a tutor for first year Pathophysiology while navigating the challenges of being a nursing student himself. 

Wilson offers special thanks to his parents and his wife and daughter (and dog and two cats) for their continued support while wading through the rigors of the nursing program. 

The Northeast Media Arts program will livestream events on-line at team1sports.com/northeastcc. It will then be uploaded on demand to Northeast’s YouTube channel.  

Because of construction on the Maclay Building, there will be no parking in the lot to the south of it. All other lots will be available for parking. 

The Spring 2024 graduation candidates are listed below by degree and program followed by hometown and name. Included in the list are tentative Spring 2024 candidates and the graduates who completed their studies in summer and fall 2023.
