Dear York College Class of 2020:

Congratulations, you have completed this important milestone in your educational journey!
I am truly proud of all of you for making the commitment and with the support of your families,
faculty and staff at York, have achieved your goal of an undergraduate or graduate degree. This
spring semester has been a lesson in perseverance. But as York’s Alma Mater song says in part,
“When the going seemed too tough/ We strove harder to be strong/ And now we’ve made it here at last.”
This past semester has given new meaning to that sentiment. We can now proudly proclaim, we
are “York Strong.”
Despite having to leave the campus literally overnight due to the COVID-19 pandemic protocol,
and adapt to full distance learning, you and your professors prevailed. Our IT team rose to the
challenge to provide the tech support and equipment needed to power the new learning model
to complete the semester. Now we are celebrating your success.
After four or more years of on-campus learning, you have spent the past two and a half months
learning and studying from home. Please do not let these last weeks cause you to devalue the
semester or your York experience. It is my hope that all of us will have all grown from the experience
and that we will use it to our benefit in some way.
Of course we would have much preferred to be celebrating with all the pomp and circumstance
befitting a normal graduation ceremony as had been planned for May 29; but as you are all aware,
we are prevented from proceeding in that manner now. But I want you all to know that better days
are ahead and we will celebrate in-person when it is safe to gather again in one big, rambunctious
space.
To our valedictorian, Business major, Aamina Bibi, congratulations! You worked hard and have
earned the honor of speaking on behalf of your classmates. To the faculty who kept your students
focused during the stress of the shutdown, thank you for your commitment to the dream.
Graduates, it has been my honor to meet so many of you over this past year when I began my
tenure as your interim president. Whether as a members of Student Government, members of
the many clubs on campus, student reporters or just a friendly face in the Atrium, you have been
gracious and supportive in your welcoming and I thank you all for that.
Finally, graduates, not only are you the Class of 2020, you are the 50th Commencement Class of
York College, CUNY. Go forth and take your place in making the change you want to see in the
world, keeping York always in your hearts. You now join more than 30,000 as York College alumni.
Stay in touch with your alma mater and stay well. We are One York.
Congratulations, everyone!

Berenecea Johnson Eanes
