    2018_Commencement_final.pdf 1 4/2/18 3:09 PM C M Y CM MY CY CMY K Commencement Undergraduate and Graduate Degree Candidates Spring 2020 “In celebration of our 134th academic year” A Message from the President Dear Graduate: Congratulations on earning a Winthrop University degree! I commend you on this outstanding achievement in light of all that is currently going on in our world. Who could have imagined when you began this academic year that your undergraduate experience would come to a conclusion via remote learning, video chats with professors, and digital contact with staff and your peers? I am proud that, despite the completely unexpected and substantially re-tooled last half of a single, culminating semester, you persevered and accomplished the task at hand. You rose to the challenge and graduated! When you look back over your time at Winthrop, you will undoubtedly recall evidence that you mastered the challenges of academic rigor, civic engagement, global awareness, personal responsibility, and career development. You met the demanding standards of your respective academic program. You forged relationships with mentors in the classroom and in the community, and, as importantly, you made friends for life. Through all of those experiences, you also gained the confidence that comes with giving your best to achieve your dreams. Just as it has in the last two months, that confidence will serve you well as you rise in your chosen career, pursue advanced studies, enter or re-enter the workforce, or simply explore a new direction for your life. I strongly believe that you will stand out as a leader in your community and your profession as a result of your varied and dynamic experiences at this university.
