  • In celebration of these great achievements, shop the CC Alumni store for apparel and gifts. 

Alumni Lapel Pins

  • The CCAA proudly celebrates each new graduate and welcomes you to the Alumni Association. There is no registration process or fees – all graduates automatically become members of the CCAA. Graduates who participate in an in-person commencement will receive an official alumni lapel pin at the ceremony. Learn more about alumni membership.

“We’re always on the lookout for opportunities to talk about commencement. We’re constantly promoting it with our students. It’s not just for them. It’s also for the people in their lives who have supported them through their educational journey. I tell them to think of commencement as an exclamation point on this very big accomplishment.” — Debra Hartman, senior director of Columbia College-Crystal Lake and Region C1
