CLASS OF 2020

ONCE A POET, ALWAYS A POET

DEAR GRADUATE,

The class of 2020 was always going to be a memorable one, kicking off a new decade with endless opportunities. This class includes artists and athletes, activists and scientists, dedicated scholars and talented performers, educators and educators-to-be.

As it happens, this class will also be historic. You will be written about in textbooks as having borne the brunt of a pandemic that changed the world. When future scholars examine the year 2020 they will look back at the scientific and economic impact of this global situation. They will also write about the resilience of those that lived and thrived during this time and about the innovation that resulted as humanity shifted to a new paradigm.

At Whittier College, you have learned to be critical thinkers, life-long learners, team builders, and innovators. These skills will go far as the world continues to change and offer unique opportunities to those who are ready for them. And, you, Whittier graduate, are ready to be the leader that we need at this time.

As a Whittier graduate, you are now a lifetime member of the Poet Family. We hope you stay engaged—attending live and virtual events, volunteering to serve the College, and connecting with fellow alumni and current students. All alumni have access to valuable services and resources, including continued support from our Center for Career and Professional Development and access to the extended Poet Network. The value of your degree is exponential as you stay connected to your alma mater.

Enclosed are a few items to help you celebrate your achievement and show your Poet pride.

I wish you continued success on your personal journey.

Linda Oubré, EdD, MBA President & Professor of Business Administration
