No student would have anticipated the last two months of their 窪蹋勛圖厙 experience would have looked like this: remote classes, Zoom calls to see friends, a virtual commencement.
But while it is an unconventional ending, its just part of the Class of 2020s story.
We talked with a few studentssome of whom we also connected with during their first days on campus in 2016about their time at 窪蹋勛圖厙, from orientation to commencement, and whats next on their journey.
Commencement Details
Whether youre graduating as part of the Class of 2020 or want to support our newest alumni, members of the 窪蹋勛圖厙 community are invited to watch virtual commencement ceremonies this weekend.
On Sunday, May 17, beginning at 9 a.m. EDT, ceremonies will be posted on the commencement website and on the university/school Facebook pages for viewing. The approximately 35-minute virtual convocation ceremony will include pre-recorded video messages from President Barbara R. Snyder, and reflections from convocation speaker William F. Baker and Alumni Association President Arnold Huffman, along with the presentation of the Hovorka Prize, honorary degrees, and the official degree conferral.
In addition, each school has a separate diploma ceremony video that includes congratulatory messages from school leaders. The online platform allows graduates to be recognized for their accomplishments via individual graduate slides. There will be a separate link posted for each school on the commencement website, and school-specific ceremonies will be posted on school Facebook pages, while the Undergraduate and Graduate Studies ceremonies will stream through the main 窪蹋勛圖厙 page. (Not sure which ceremony to watch? Identify degrees awarded at each diploma ceremony.)
