The University of Alabama awarded some 6,326 degrees this spring. Among the graduates was:
• Holly Berkley of Spicewood, who received a Bachelor of Science.
• Trevor De Laat of Spicewood, who received a Bachelor of Science in Commerce & Business Administration.
The recent change to remote learning during this unprecedented time affected the University’s plans for traditional commencement activities.
However, commencement is a milestone, and the University wants graduates to have the opportunity to walk across the stage in celebration of their success. Although any plans are contingent on how the summer outlook progresses, all spring graduates are invited to participate in the summer commencement events scheduled for Friday, July 31, and Saturday, Aug. 1.
“We will also be recognizing the achievements of our spring 2020 graduating class through online and social media outlets to highlight our shared pride in them,” said UA President Stuart Bell.
“I look forward to congratulating each student on stage very soon.”
