Due to COVID-19, a commencement ceremony was not held this May to honor the Class of 2020. Students opted to postpone the in-person ceremony until circumstances safely permit.
Faculty and administrators offered their congratulations by video.
Student Affairs led a team of staff in packing and mailing each graduate “Commencement in a Box,” complete with diplomas and certificates, regalia, honor cords, celebratory balloons and noisemakers. Grads were encouraged to share pictures of their individual celebrations, some of which can be seen here.
