MCC commencement

Friday, May 7, 2021

BELOW: Laura Nokes and sons Trevor and Parker accept the McCook Community College’s President’s Award from Mid-Plains President Ryan Purdy on behalf of their late husband and father, Garrett, at this morning’s MCC Commencement Ceremonies. “He loved the sport of rodeo,” Laura said, “and he was passionate about it. He loved to help others learn to be the best competitors that they could be. However, he loved, even more, to see his kids be successful outside of the arena. He knew how important that education was, and he wanted them to be successful and win in an arena, but he wanted them to work just as hard in the classroom and earn a degree.” BOTTOM: Lisa Beans accepts the MCC Gene Budig award from Dr. Purdy.
