Celebrating the Class of 2020

“You have been called the class of COVID, but I want you to understand that you are not the virus, you are the cure”

— President, Susan A. Cole.


Dear Class of 2020:

Congratulations on earning your degree! I regret that we are unable to celebrate your achievement together while we currently are in our separate spaces, and I promise you that we will make every effort to hold an in-person celebration when we are able.

On behalf of the entire University, I send our warmest best wishes. Now more than ever the world needs bright, committed, well-prepared people who can take on the immense challenges we are facing. Your education at Montclair State has prepared you for this moment, and I have full confidence in you.

Congratulations, and until we meet again, Go Red Hawks and hooray for the Class of 2020!

President Cole.
