Congratulations, graduates!
The faculty and staff in the Auburn University College of Agriculture are extremely proud of the students who completed their studies during this unusual time. Although planned August celebrations to recognize recent graduates are indefinitely postponed, the university and the College of Agriculture still wish to recognize these new alumni who completed their degrees while adapting to an online learning platform amidst the COVID-19 outbreak.
In the absence of the originally planned ceremonies, a College of Agriculture Graduation Celebration will be held from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. this Saturday, Aug. 8, on Comer Lawn. Amy Wright, associate dean for instruction, members of the Student Services Office, Peer Mentors and Ag Ambassadors will be in attendance to offer their congratulations and welcome the recent graduates back home.
To our recent graduates: Your remarkable achievements are all the more impressive given the adjustments you had to make at the end of your studies. We are proud of all you have achieved and all that we know you will accomplish in the future.
