As the Heavy Metal Summer Experience comes to an end on June 21, 2024, a commencement ceremony will be held, marking the successful accomplishment of completing this immersive program. This ceremony serves as an opportunity for mentors to commend and motivate students into the next chapter of their lives and offer insightful reflections on what occurred during the experience.
