“Everyone has a right to feel how they want right now, but I personally admire the effort the school has put into place to try to give us something positive to remember about these months,” said McCoy. “I don’t know where I’d rather be on Sept. 26.”
“Class of 2020, you are awesome,” wrote Dr. Angela McNeil, director of the Act 101/Gateway to Success program. “Congratulations on persevering through a pandemic to achieve your academic goals!”
