Dear students and families,

Please accept my congratulations on your long-awaited accomplishment, made all the moresignificant and impressive for the circumstancesunder which you have achieved it.

You members of the Class of 2020 have faced trialsno other graduates in our lifetime have dreamedof. After years of diligent study and work, just asyou were approaching the finish line, everythingwas suddenly hurled into uncertainty. Rather thancelebrating this occasion with your classmates andfamilies as you had always imagined, you insteadwere forced into isolation by a global crisis beyondyour or anyone’s control.

Yet I am confident that you will emerge from thistrying time even stronger, and that a future oftriumphs and successes awaits you. Some thingswill not change. This formal commencementprogram is a symbol of that, a tradition that wehave shared with graduating students and theirfamilies for many years and that lives on now.

I am proud of every RMU class upon whom it ismy privilege to confer their degrees. But the Classof 2020 will always hold a special place in mymemory. You have been tested, and you havepassed that test with resolution, kindness, andcourage. I expect great things from each of you.

My sincere and deepest regards,
