W E LCOM E CLA S S OF 20 20, YOUR F RIE N DS A N D FA MILY,
 B UT A L S O YOU R E X T E N DE D U N ION FA MILY—OUR FAC ULTY, STA F F A N D A LUMNI .

It is a pleasure to be with you today to recognize and celebrate your accomplishments, even if this is
   not how any of us envisioned this special day when your time at Union began, or even this past
 September as you returned for your last year at Union with expectations of a very different spring.

  Commencement includes an address by a distinguished guest and a message from me to the class.
We will be saving both until we are able to gather on this campus for your Commencement at the end of
 the next academic year. For now, let me offer very brief reflections rather than an extended message.

      This year you have heard me invoke our vision statement many times and even seen key
    phrases on banners around campus: developing every student to lead with wisdom, empathy
                          and courage, now and across multiple tomorrows.

     I want to emphasize what you know already. This is not just a statement in a strategic plan.
                             It is a statement of both aspiration and fact.

 I was reminded of this in office hours recently, when a 2019 Union graduate joined us and shared that
   she had been working in a South African health clinic as a Minerva Fellow. When I asked if there
 were aspects of her Union experience that were helpful, she responded quickly and unambiguously.

 Empathy, which she learned in and out of the classroom, was critical to being effective with people
and in a place with which she had no experience. Courage and wisdom she developed when faculty
 encouraged her to pursue a double major and joint thesis in what at many places might have been
       dismissed as incongruous—neuroscience and gender, sexuality, and women’s studies.

    I was also reminded of this over the past two weeks as we observed students using what they
     had learned across our curriculum and Union College experience to understand persistent
        and painful issues around race in America, and we were all confronted with just how
             much more progress Union and the rest of society must make in this area.

 I regret that we cannot be together today, but I look forward to seeing you on campus before long,
      and to hearing more about your journey, about how what you have learned here and the
        people you have met here have sustained you and enabled you to reach beyond what
               you may have thought possible when you joined this, our community.

Class of 2020 A TRIBUTE TO THE - Union College
The College Seal
Not long after Union’s founding in 1795, a group of trustees developed the College’s official seal
and motto. Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom, adorned a number of seals at the time, but
the use of French for the motto was a departure from the more common Greek. Union’s motto
reads Sous les lois de Minerve nous devenons tous frères et sœurs (“Under the laws of Minerva, we
all become brothers and sisters”).

About Latin Honors
Some degrees are awarded signifying levels of the graduates’ cumulative grade point averages.
They are summa cum laude (at least 3.8), magna cum laude (3.65) and cum laude (3.5).

Honor Societies
A number of national honor societies are represented at Union. The societies and elected
graduates are listed in the section under “Honor Awards.”

Social Media
Graduates, friends and family are encouraged to share photos and stories at #HonoringU and
#UnionCollegeClassof2020.

                                    Ode to Old Union
                            by Fitzhugh Ludlow, Class of 1856
                         Let the Grecian dream of his sacred stream,
                               And sing of the brave adorning,
                          That Phoebus weaves from his laurel leaves
                               At the golden gates of morning,
                     But the brook that bounds through Union’s Grounds
                             Gleams bright as the Delphic water,
                            And a prize as fair as a god may wear
                                Is a dip from our Alma Mater.

                                           (Chorus)
                            Then here’s to thee, the brave and free,
                                  Old Union, smiling o’er us
                          And for many a day as thy walls grow gray,
                           May they ring with thy children’s chorus!
