Everyone faces challenges along the road to graduation, but the summer 2020 group has overcome hurdles perhaps unlike any others.
They saw their final spring semester disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The summer in which they completed their degree requirements was likewise affected, and the students dealt with not only changes in classes, but also in internships, jobs and every area of life.
Still, they kept going, and made it to the finish line. We are especially proud of these graduating seniors, who are made of unrelenting inquiry, bright conviction and unstoppable Gamecock pride.
“I’m extremely proud of our students graduating in August. They persevered and adapted over the last six months of their education and are entering the workforce at a rough time. I know that they are prepared and ready to tackle the challenges facing our industries today. They will be leading our industries soon!”
— Matt Brown, interim dean, College of Hospitality, Retail and Sport Management
