Dear Class of 2020,
Congratulations — you did it.
You have taken your last final,
turned in your last project,
submitted your last paper,
and you have made it to this
long-awaited milestone.
You should be incredibly proud of yourselves.
We are certainly proud of you.
We recognize that this is not how you envisioned
the end of your KU business experience.
This semester has presented you with unprecedented challenges,
and you have displayed resilience, adaptability
and strength as you’ve navigated your courses.
These characteristics will serve you well as you begin
to carve out your careers.
While you may feel uncertain about your future,
please know that your KU business degree distinguishes you.
As a KU business graduate,
you join a powerful network
of alumni across the world who lead and work for top companies.
The countless hours of effort and dedication
that you have invested into your education
will sustain you personally and professionally going forward.
Continue to nourish your sense of curiosity
and desire to learn.
Keep growing and
looking for ways to address challenges and solve problems.
The world of business needs your ideas
and your leadership.
We can’t wait to see what you do next.
We wish that we could come together this spring to celebrate your achievements.
Despite our physical distance, however, we hope you realize that you are not alone.
You are part of a strong, expansive community
of Business Jayhawks who are thinking of you
and celebrating your many successes.
Congratulations.
Congratulations.
Congratulations.
Congratulations.
Congratulations, and Rock Chalk!
