Redlands Community College recently celebrated the graduation of more than 250 students during its Spring commencement ceremony. Of those, one is from this area.
Hunter Tygart, of Newcastle, earned an Associate in Applied Science with a Certificate of Mastery.
The commencement included a keynote address from college alumni Christian Wassana, actor and founder of the I am, I can, I will movement.
“We are proud of these graduates who have demonstrated the dedication and drive that will serve them well in the future,” said Redlands President Jena Marr. “Redlands is a special college because of the students who have chosen to get their start on promising careers on our campus. Christian Wassana is one of those students who earned a degree here and then pursued a bachelor’s degree at OU before embarking on an incredible career.”
Wassana, a proud member of the Cheyenne Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma and a graduate of El Reno High School, has spent the past few years working in television and film as an actor and director’s assistant. His current project is the hit Paramount Networks series “Yellowstone.” He is also the founder and owner of the I am, I can, I will movement where he uses his motivational talents as a tool to reach and impact the lives of youth and communities around the country.
