WALNUT RIDGE, Ark. – An estimated 100 graduates will receive their diplomas Saturday, May 13, as Williams Baptist College holds its 2017 commencement exercises. The graduation ceremony begins at 10 a.m. in WBC’s Southerland-Mabee Center.

WBC’s Golden Eagles, alumni who attended Williams 50 or more years ago, will also be honored at the ceremony. As has become tradition at the Williams commencement exercises, the Golden Eagles will march in with this year’s graduates.
The graduation ceremony is open to the public.
Williams is a four-year, liberal arts college at Walnut Ridge.
