A Mosaic Celebrating the Class of 2020

We invited the Class of 2020 to submit their best Clark photos, fondest campus memories, favorite quotes, and more to a special website. The result: a one-of-a-kind mosaic of Jonas Clark Hall, created from 595 images of Class of 2020 graduates. Our Clarkie mosaic features memories, favorite quotes, and links to creative content that show what an extraordinary class they were.

On-campus Celebration of Graduates

parents celebrating

Clark plans to hold an on-campus, face-to-face celebration of 2020 graduates this fall — or whenever such gatherings are safe.

We will invite students and their families and friends to a campus celebration, approximately one day in length. This will be an opportunity for graduates to celebrate with each other and with Clark students, faculty, staff and administrators in a way that will not be possible this May.

While the details of the celebration have yet to be determined, we currently imagine the day to include:

A “plenary” shared event, perhaps one hour in length, featuring David Angel and new President David Fithian
Doctoral hooding for all doctoral graduates in attendance
Departmental gatherings and parties
A dance and other live entertainment

Students may make recommendations by emailing and ideas by emailing FallGraduationCelebration@ClarkU.edu.
