GED Commencement 2008: An Evening Affair to Remember |
|
The OSSE GED Testing Center will celebrated GED Commencement on June 25, 2008 at 8:00 PM at
the University of the District of
Columbia. The theme for this year’s
Cap and Gown Ceremony was “Striving for a Brighter Future.” For this
momentous occasion for participants, a dynamic and charismatic leader of our
community challenged all toward living out the theme.
The guest speaker Reverend Dr. Lewis Anthony
of Metropolitan Wesley Zion
Church delivered a rousing message of hope and inspiration at GED commencement
last year. Pastor Anthony serves as the senior pastor of Washington’s
historic Metropolitan Wesley African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church. Founded
in 1832, the Metropolitan Wesley AME Zion Church
served as a station on the famed “Underground Railroad,” and was
the birthplace of the first public school for Washington’s African-American
children. Pastor Anthony received degrees from Columbia
and Harvard Universities. He is a native of Washington, DC and a
graduate of Anacostia
Senior High School.
The 112 credential represented over 555 credential recipients who successfully passed the GED from June 1, 2007 to May 31, 2008.
