North Carolina Central University’s largest graduating class ever walked the stage on Saturday.
More than 700 undergraduate students can now call themselves NCCU alumni.
It was an exciting day for the graduates, as they reflected on the end of their journey through college.
"I didn't think I would ever feel like this. That feeling--it doesn't feel real. That's the feeling that I feel. I know after I leave here today and walk across that stage, it will be real. Since I have a plan at the end of the day, my job now is to make others feel like I feel," said NC Central graduate Patrick Minor.
Saturday's ceremony came a day, after more than 400 NC Central graduate students received their diplomas.
