Cheers and Celebrate Class of 2020

You made it….you finally made it! Think back when it all started and you said – “Four years + — that’s a long time. I don’t know if I can do it.” No doubt you got encouragement from your parents or friends to move you along. Now you at the finish line and you’re saying, “Where did the time go?” As you depart and embrace further education or a career, time will indeed fly by. You will look back at the moment in your life that you decided to make SUNY Poly part of your life with the struggles and fun that encompassed your stay here. You will smile or shed a tear remembering those special moments, good or bad that was your world. This will be with you forever. Unfortunately this years graduation will not be what you thought it was going to be. No one could have imagined this, BUT it will be something that will go down in history. There will be no way that you or the world will ever forget the year that you graduated. There are many hurdles ahead and many problems to be solved, of which you may play a part in solving. Whatever you do, remember, you are an important piece of the puzzle. Feel confident and persevere. You made it through many challenges already, you will make it through many more. So here is to you – Cheers – Good Luck and Congratulations! You have accomplished a major milestone in life’s path.
