You did it, Owls!

Another parliament of Owls have earned their wings, navigating unforeseen circumstances and overcoming obstacles to cross the ultimate finish line: graduation. This accomplishment marks not just an end, but a beginning for our graduates as they embark on their next chapter and make a difference in the world. Although this year brought an undeniable set of challenges, the Fall Class of 2020 conquered every obstacle and will soon showcase their talents and abilities as teachers, engineers, nurses, artists, entrepreneurs and scientists. While their time as undergraduates at KSU has come and gone, it is now time for our fall semester graduates to take flight. At KSU, Owls do more than find their wings – they soar.

Congratulations to KSU’s Class of 2020! Now go forth and rewrite history.

GRADUATE ROLL CALL

While videos could never replace our live commencement celebrations, KSU has created these special College-specific videos with the names of nearly 2,900 graduates earning their degrees this fall. Thanks to everyone who shared their photography with us so we can share some of those special images on the page. We truly hope you enjoy the experience!

Graduates by College

A WORD FROM OUR GRADUATES

"I had to make a complete career change when the live music venue where I was offered a job closed indefinitely because of the pandemic. I started my own photography business, and my pictures have now been published in several media outlets. In a matter of months, I have been able to make the best of this crazy situation. I am so grateful to have learned the management skills at KSU and communication skills in the Music and Entertainment Business Program in order to run my own company."

-Ally Prusnofsky, Bachelor of Business Administration in Management

“Even though the degree will have my name and major, I would not be able to obtain my degree without many people’s help. My family supported me financially and mentally; my host family encouraged me to stay focused; all of my professors were very nice and willing to help me to learn; and all of my friends at KSU helped me broaden my perspectives.”

-Kihyup Yoon, Bachelor of Information Systems, international student from South Korea

“I will always remember how supportive everyone was, from peers to professors, of my unusual circumstances as an older student. None of my classmates ever said anything unkind about my age or status as a nontraditional student and I was always included in discussions. Professors were kind and understanding of my role as a mom and wife, even welcoming my kids into their classrooms if an emergency arose and I needed to bring the girls to class. For someone with no family here in Georgia, KSU became my support system in many ways.”
