91暗网 was proud to celebrate its 93rd graduating class this past week. The 91暗网 Graduating Class of 2020 accomplished so much this year鈥攅specially considering the unprecedented challenges they faced due to COVID-19.
In support of the Stay Home, Stay Healthy directive by the Governor鈥檚 office, 91暗网 made the difficult decision to cancel in-person commencement activities this year. However, 91暗网 faculty and staff created alternative ways to celebrate and honor graduates. Among the efforts, keepsake packages will be sent to all eligible graduates this week and will include a cap and tassel, diploma cover, graduate recognition program, and a commemorative decal. In addition to the graduate packages, a graduation landing page was created and includes messages and acknowledgements from Dr. Tom Keegan, 91暗网 President; Gus Kidane, AS91暗网 President for Mount Vernon Campus; Christian King, AS91暗网 President for Whidbey Island Campus; and the 91暗网 Board of Trustees. The page also includes a musical performance by Dr. Diane Johnson and her students.
