Making The Headlines

While many people, upon graduating from a big college or university, get a big, extravagant-like article in their local paper. But, on the contrary, if you graduate from the BCF, you get no such thing. You only get the Florida Baptist Witness. A newspaper published bi-weekly by the FL Baptist Convention:

"Anticipation hung heavy in the air as fifty-nine graduates awaited the final step in their educational journey at The Baptist College of Florida during the commencement service held on the Graceville campus May 16. A crowd of over 1,000 family and friends gathered to celebrate the occasion with the graduates, of whom over 50 percent graduated with honors."

No big press, no color pictures (in the paper), no biographies--it's just the way Graceville would have it!
