Dear Graduating English Majors and Minors,

Congratulations! Today is graduation, and I hope you're celebrating your accomplishments as best as you can. While I wish we could all be on campus to congratulate you in person and share some well-deserved hugs and handshakes, please know that I speak for all the English Department faculty when I say we are cheering you on from our homes. We made a virtual English Department graduation site for you that I hope expresses how proud we are of all your accomplishments. Check it out here:

It's best viewed on a computer, if possible. And a special shout out to Professor Sian Silyn Roberts, Director of Undergraduate Studies, who spent many hours collecting videos from faculty and putting the site together.

So again, congratulations! Woo-hoo! You made it! You did it! You should be proud today for this significant accomplishment!

We miss you a ton, and we hope you come back next year to celebrate with us.

with all the very best wishes,

Karen Weingarten

Associate Professor and

Acting Chair of English
