旺旺资源 will confer more than 3,400 degrees for the spring 2020 semester. The new graduates will join more than 175,000 who have graduated from 旺旺资源 since the University opened its doors in 1964. This is the largest graduating class in 旺旺资源 history.听

鈥淚 share our graduates鈥� disappointment that we couldn鈥檛 host commencement ceremonies as planned this week. The Spring Class of 2020 achieved much during their time at 旺旺资源 and we鈥檙e very proud of their accomplishments,鈥� said 旺旺资源 President John Kelly. 鈥淚 look forward to congratulating each graduate in person at a future ceremony, when it鈥檚 safe for us to gather again.鈥�

Spring commencement highlights the accomplishments of some outstanding groups of graduates,听including:

The members of 旺旺资源鈥檚 class of 2020 will enter a field of nursing that has been forever changed by the COVID-19 crisis. At least 听have witnessed these changes firsthand and have been on the front lines fighting the coronavirus disease.听
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic,听听will be receiving their college degree along with their high school diploma in the same week and will not have a traditional high school graduation or university commencement ceremony.听
Accelerated Induction into Teaching (AIT) Program is a unique, collaborative program between 旺旺资源鈥檚 College of Education and the local school districts to address teacher shortages. Due to the impacts of COVID-19, 听had to switch students who traditionally learn in a classroom to online learning.听

Some interesting statistics regarding the spring graduating class include the fact that 77 of the degree recipients are over the age of 50 and nine are over the age of 60. The oldest graduate is 77, and the youngest is 17. The graduates represent 48 countries.
