COMMENCEMENT 2020 1 Dear Graduates,

Today we celebrate you, our newest graduates, in a way that we’ve never done before, and in a way that I think no one would have forecast at the start of this academic year. We eagerly look to the day when we can be together again to honor the Class of 2020 and your many achieve- ments. But the conferring of degrees for our graduates is not to be delayed—it is an important recognition of these years of immersion and discovery, of diligence and break- throughs, that we acknowledge today and celebrate with your family and friends.

I hope every one of you feels the enthusiastic recogni- tion of the UVM community, and of your loved ones and friends, for all of your hard work and impressive accom- plishments leading up to this day.

Not every graduating class enters the world beyond university in such a historic moment. But this is your moment, and we celebrate you now, not only for your achievements, but also for the focus and fortitude that has brought you to this threshold. Every one of you can add the character qualities of adaptability and resilience to your resumes—you have shown that you have what it takes to finish strong in the face of the unexpected. Those qualities will take you far in life and will help shape your path ahead. Wherever that path takes you, we know you will make your alma mater proud!

With all my best wishes,

Suresh Garimella President, University of Vermont
