Clayton College & State University's 30th anniversary graduation ceremony will be Saturday, May 6, at 9 a.m.

The commencement exercises will be by the edge of recently named Swan Lake, the CCSU campus' landmark 12-acre lake. In case of rain, the ceremonies will be in the CCSU Athletics and Fitness Center, also on the CCSU main campus in Morrow. A total of 400 students are eligible to graduate this May.

Approximately 10 percent of the school's student body comes from Fayette County.

In one of his final official acts as CCSU's CEO, interim President Michael F. Vollmer will preside over the 2000 graduation. Vollmer will conclude his year-long duties leading CCSU June 1, when Thomas K. Harden, Ph.D. will officially become the fourth president since the school's founding in September 1969.
