Jana Kathleen Everette of Paducah, KY was one of more than 800 candidates for graduation honored at West Kentucky Community and Technical College's Fall Commencement Ceremony December 15, 2014 at the Luther F. Carson Four Rivers Center.

Everette was one of several students to receive their certificate in Advanced Nursing Assistant .

In addition to the candidates for graduation, 42 students received nursing pins during a ceremony prior to commencement.

During his speech to the students, keynote speaker Dr. Kevin Gericke said achieving a college credential was "only a stopping point" on their educational and life journey. "Your credential is not a destination to rest upon, now that you have arrived," said Dr. Gericke, a professor of economics and statistics at WKCTC and chair of the college faculty. "Your credential is the way that you will link your past experience to the future opportunities that await you. Use this credential to open the door of possibilities in front of you, and move through that doorway into a world that needs you."
