COVID-19 Update #14
Wednesday, Apr 29, 2020
Today’s message is focused on one topic: our spring commencement ceremonies that were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
I consider commencement a fundamental component of the educational experience at FAU. I want to assure our May graduates that every effort will be made to provide them with an opportunity to participate in a future commencement ceremony when it’s safe to gather in large numbers again. Guided by a dedicated faculty, our students worked hard and achieved much during their time at FAU, and I am determined to give as many as possible the complete commencement experience.
While we won’t be able to gather next week, it is important we celebrate the accomplishments of FAU’s newest class of graduates, even in these exceptional circumstances. To that end, we will begin Celebrating the Spring Class of 2020 on Wednesday, May 6. A special website will include student and faculty videos, a social media feed, and more. Other highlights will be shared during a week-long social media campaign, so stay tuned for more information next week.
I encourage all Spring 2020 graduates to post photos and favorite FAU memories on social media, and use #FAUgrad, so we can celebrate virtually.
Congratulations to the Class of 2020. Go Owls!
