The Summer 2020 trimester at the Tennessee College of Applied Technology at McKenzie ended differently this year. A virtual graduation ceremony was held to celebrate our graduates. The virtual graduation was posted on YouTube and the link was shared to each graduate and on TCAT McKenzie’s Facebook page. Dr. Brad White, President, along with John Penn Ridgeway, Vice President, led the ceremony with some congratulatory comments.
