Messages To 2020 Graduates

COD Newsroom
In a non-pandemic year, many college graduates would be packing up and moving on to the next chapter lives. However, like many big events, graduation ceremonies look a bit different this spring, and were held online rather than in person. To celebrate 2020 graduates, we’ve compiled a few graduation messages from virtual ceremonies around Illinois.
The voices included:
President Barack H. Obama
U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D-Illinois)
Melody Betts, Western Illinois University
President Teresa Amott, Knox College
President Gary Roberts, Bradley University
Dean Diane Zosky, Illinois State University College of Arts and Sciences
