“We look forward to seeing how you keep your education alive by making it effective in the world. You will always be part of the William James College family, wherever your path leads you and for that, we are proud,” said Alberding in a message to the graduates.

Chair of the Counseling and Behavioral Health Department, Dr. Nilda Laboy, read the names of all the graduates while students shared their experiences and future plans. The celebration ended with faculty reflecting on the graduating class and sharing poems and quotes.

Congratulations to all 2020 Graduates!
