Success Center Graduation

Four students are graduating from Linn Mar’s Success Center this year. The program serves students from ages 18 to 21 that continue to be eligible for student support services.

Bowling is one of the group's favorite activities, so the graduates thought the Cedar Rapids Bowling Center would be the ideal location for the celebration!
