The Alumni Association wants to celebrate our spring 2020 graduates
Hello K-Staters! Just because the Spring 2020 Commencement Ceremony was postponed due to COVID-19 doesn't mean we can't still celebrate our newest members of the #KStateAlumni family.
"Graduation is a very special time for our students and the K-State Alumni Association wants to help them create memories," said Jessica Elmore, associate director of diversity programs. "We are encouraging all spring 2020 graduating K-Staters to participate in the list of virtual graduation activities."
The K-State Alumni Association has set up a handful of graduation-related events online to help you mark this tremendous occasion.
