Dear Graduating Class of 2020,
In response to the guidance provided by the Michigan Department of Health and Center for Disease Control, we’ve made a difficult but necessary decision to postpone the 2020 Commencement Ceremonies and all related events for the graduating Class of 2020. I share in your disappointment and understand that graduation is one of the highlights of your educational journey. When the time is appropriate, we will explore options for celebrating the Class of 2020 graduates. In the meantime, please continue to care for one another and heed the advice of medical professionals.
Again, thank you for your understanding and support during these unprecedented times. I am thankful for the Baker College community and BakerProud of our students as they continue their educational pursuits during these difficult times.
Best Wishes,
Bart Daig, Ph.D.
System President
