Colorado Mountain College’s Vail Valley campus celebrated its most recent class of graduates on Friday at The Vilar Performing Arts Center in Beaver Creek.
The 2024 graduates — a diverse group that included parents, first-generation students, high schoolers, local employees and more — were celebrated for the varied journeys they took to the commencement on Friday evening.
