A Note to Spring 2020 Graduates -
I am so happy we were able to send you the commencement-in-a-box kits. I consider the commencement ceremonies we host each year to be among the most important and cherished traditions of this university. Commencement is the celebration of a life-changing and singular achievement-one that has been years and even decades in the making. So, even though I hope those boxes and our online celebration brought you moments of joy and a sense of accomplishment – I know it is not the same.
As we prepare to repopulate campus in August, none of us know what direction the COVID-19 pandemic will take us. Despite all the uncertainties we all face, I want you to know that should we be able to have a ceremony in December, we would be honored for you to return to your alma mater and walk across the stage.
If it is safe to do so, we will have an in-person celebration. If it is not safe to gather, we will have an official virtual commencement. Either way, you will be included and the 2020 Commencement Celebration will be held on Friday, December 11. Please save the date. More information will be forthcoming later this fall.
Best wishes in your professional sojourns!
Kind Regards,
Tisa Mason, Ed.D., CAE
President
Fort Hays State University
p.s. Don’t hesitate to check-in with the Office of Career Services should you need assistance putting that degree to work. Career services staff will support you throughout your professional journey.
