UE Virtually Celebrates with 2020 Graduates
Evansville, IN (05/09/2020) — The University of Evansville celebrates with the graduating class of 2020. President, Christopher M. Pietruszkiewicz stated, "Today is the day our graduates to celebrate their tremendous success. Although they are not walking across the stage at the Ford Center, it is still a powerful moment they can reflect on their accomplishments. While at the University of Evansville, students transform their life through years of study, gaining skills for their future career and making life-long friends. This year's class has a unique journey, but we didn't want this day to go by without recognizing and celebrating with them and their families."
The University has created a Commencement Corner web page that was emailed to students this morning at 10am, which would have been the start of the originally scheduled commencement. This web page includes:
- A message to congratulate you on students on their academic success and an opportunity for them to have tassel practice prior to the new Commencement date on September 19.
- The announcement of the commencement speaker.
- A video looking back video over the past few years.
- This year's video from the Leadership Awards Program.
- Steps on how students can start their journey as a member of the Alumni Association.
"I hope our students and their families join us virtually in celebrating this day and take great pride in saying I Aced It!," said President, Christopher M. Pietruszkiewicz.
