FSC’s commitment to student-centered learning and inclusiveness prepares graduates to be exemplary citizens equipped to excel in a competitive, diverse, and technologically dynamic society. Dear Class of 2020 Graduate, This is a congratulatory letter unlike any other. The spring 2020 semester has been the most difficult time for Farmingdale State College and, almost certainly, for you. Despite the unprecedented challenges and difficulties, graduation is a joyous time. The public health crisis of today cannot diminish your achievements and the bright future that awaits you. In the face of great obstacles, your resilience and persistence have been remarkable. The fact that we cannot hold a traditional commencement ceremony should in no way detract from this celebratory occasion. Farmingdale is Long Island’s oldest public college and there has never been a time to be more proud. For over a century, the College has successfully adapted to the changing social and economic climate of Long Island. In 2020 our campus community stepped forward to help those most affected by COVID-19. Faculty, students, and staff delivered personal protective equipment to institutions most in need and our allied health students, faculty, and alumni continued to work through the darkest days of the crisis. With graduates like you, it’s little wonder that the Carnegie Foundation now designates Farmingdale as among America’s civically engaged campuses, and we are recognized by Forbes as one of the nation’s great educational values. Today FSC is selective, inclusive, and thriving, with a well-deserved reputation for excellence. Many of our nearly 100,000 graduates have excelled in business, health care, technology, and civic life. The diploma you earn today is a milestone in your life. Your accomplishment is even more impressive in light of the obstacles you’ve surmounted. In the years to come, you will count it among your most remarkable achievements. On behalf of the faculty, staff, and members of the Farmingdale State College Council, I congratulate you. Now more than ever, we are proud of your accomplishments and join your family and friends in celebrating your success. Be proud of your alma mater and please keep in touch through your membership in our Alumni Association. Sincerely, John S.
