It was graduation day for Confederation College students in Atikokan Friday.
It's the first time a Convocation ceremony has been held in the community.
College President Pat Lang says it's a result of strong partnerships.
"Any time we move into a community to offer programing it's always successful," says Lang. "We have our community partners involved. In this case it was the Atikokan High School, Atikokan General Hospital and Contact North."
A total of 13 students were recognized at ceremonies held at the Atikokan High School.
