Commencement
Congratulations to our 2020 DVM, PhD, MS, and MPH Graduates!
We want to celebrate you! Although we are not able to hold an in-person ceremony for our graduating class of 2020, we believe it is extremely important to honor your hard work and dedication to learning. Join us for a virtual event on May 16 starting at 11 a.m. CT and participate in some of our fun virtual activities to make this day as special as possible.
The theme for the celebration is “Hail to Thee,” the University’s alma mater, and a reference from Minnesota’s state song chosen to reflect the University’s admiration for your incredible resilience in these stressful times.
