December 2020 Doctoral Celebration

Congratulations to our 2020 doctoral graduates! A doctoral degree represents the culmination of years of commitment, dedication, and work. While we cannot celebrate together in person right now, we want to mark this important moment to share our gratitude and pride. 

We look forward to celebrating together in the future when it is safe to do so.
