Muskingum University celebrated the accomplishments of the class of 2020 during a virtual undergraduate Commencement on May 9 at 3:30.
The ceremony, which streamed live from Orbit Media’s studio to the University’s Commencement webpage and to six social media channels, featured live remarks from President Hasseler and Provost Nancy Evangelista, as well as recorded remarks from senior class rep Ryan Moffo, faculty rep Dr. Ky Davis, and Dr. Kim Gage Rothermel, Chair of the Board of Trustees.
The event featured individually designed slides of every graduate, in addition to videos of congratulations and well wishes from family and friends to honor this awesome group of Muskies. The dynamic, multimedia ceremony was the result of several weeks of planning by the University’s Commencement task force created to deliver the most appropriate and memorable celebration for graduates.
