NFC celebrated one of its largest and most memorable Grad Fest events to date on April 30 as graduates, family members and community supporters gathered on campus ahead of NFC’s historic Spring 2026 Commencement ceremonies.
Held at 3 p.m. outside the Marshall W. Hamilton Library, following grad practice, the event served as a celebration of the Class of 2026 and recognized the accomplishments of students preparing to walk across the stage during the College’s three commencement ceremonies held the following week.
This year’s Grad Fest was made possible in part through the support of First Federal Bank and Madison County Community Bank, whose sponsorships helped create a festive and welcoming experience for graduates and their families.
The celebration featured music, photo opportunities, refreshments, yard sign pickups, graduation regalia assistance and opportunities for students to commemorate their achievements with friends, faculty and loved ones before commencement day.
