Graduation
| Canine Companions for Independence graduation ceremonies occur at least four times a year in the North Central region. Graduation marks the end of a rigorous two-week Team Training program where CCI’s highly-trained assistance dogs are partnered with a child or adult with a disability or a person who will use the dog to help people with disabilities and both human and canine are trained to work together as a team.
During the graduation ceremony, the volunteer puppy raisers of graduating dogs “pass the leash” to the new graduates, symbolizing the dog’s transition from dog-in-training to assistance dog and marking the official start of long and valuable partnership. Next Graduation Ceremony: • Saturday, May 15, 2010 The graduation ceremony will begin at 11:00 a.m. and will last one approximately hour. Refreshments will be served afterward. Graduation is open to the public and anyone interested in attending is encouraged to do so. Volunteer opportunities are available. Please refrain from bringing pets, release dogs, and CCI puppies less than 6 months of age, as these dogs do not have public access. Thank you. Location: The Center for Workforce Development Columbus State Community College 315 Cleveland Avenue Columbus, Ohio 43215
