Ferrum College honored more than 200 graduates during a May 9 online commencement. The College was forced to postpone its 104th in-person commencement ceremony because of the coronavirus.
The virtual event featured videos from Ferrum College President David L. Johns, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Aimé Sposato, along with members of the senior class. Retired Professor Emeritus of Environmental Science and Biology Bob Pohlad was the keynote speaker.
The Panther Marching Band will also perform the College’s “Alma Mater.”
“In the history of semesters, none has been more unusual than this one,” said Johns. “The class of 2020 will be remembered for generations to come because they faced the most daunting of circumstances, and yet they exhibited imagination, grace, and grit. They are Ferrum Strong, and they are ready for anything life presents them.”
