Highline College will hold its 2026 commencement ceremony on June 18, 2026 at the ShoWare Center, a decision college officials say was influenced by venue availability, tradition, and capacity needs.

The decision marks a move away from Emerald Downs, where commencement was held last year, and brings graduation back to ShoWare Center, which hosted Highline’s ceremonies for more than a decade prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. College leadership said the venue change was influenced largely by ShoWare’s ability to accommodate graduates and their guests in a single ceremony.

Ariana Grande’s “Eternal Sunshine” is not just another pop album – it is a carefully crafted emotional diary that captures heartbreak, healing, and self-reflection with striking honesty. On her seventh studio release, Grande steps away from glossy chart-chasing and leans into vulnerability, delivering a project that feels intimate, mature, and deeply personal.

Grande’s seventh studio album, “Eternal Sunshine”, arrived in March 2024 and spent three weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. She later released a deluxe version of the album, and will be going on a tour later this year in support of the project.

While some viewers praised its stunning visuals and powerful performances, others felt it didn’t fully capture the magic of the stage version. 

From financial strain and the pressures of work, external challenges often weigh heavily on college students, threatening their ability to perform academically. College life is often pictured as a time of freedom and opportunity, but according to a recent National College Attainment Network (NCAN) study, 71% of students had experienced financial difficulties while in school, making the reality clearly different. 

Rising tuition costs and financial instability often force college students to take on multiple jobs to be able to stay afloat and keep attending school. In addition to that, the exhaustion of balancing work shifts with late-night study sessions can become a heavy burden that can lead to lower grades.
