A Graduation Year
Like No Other at PCC
Commencement at Pasadena
City College is always a time to make
memories, but there’s no doubt that
the spring of 2020 will stand indel-
ibly in our minds for years to come.
When coronavirus came in
March, PCC moved its operations
online in a whirlwind of a week.
Over time, the confusion about
coursework and fears about health
began to subside, and as we set-
tled in for the long haul, we did the
best we could to adapt to the “new
normal.” Through it all, our students,
faculty, and staff demonstrated re-
sourcefulness and adaptability that
showed just how resilient we can be.
Then came outrage, despair,
protests and upheaval that sent
shockwaves through our commu-
nity again. They have laid bare the
pernicious inequality in our sys-
tems of government, justice and
yes, education. Now we are asked to
adapt for our students, faculty and
staff. We are learning to listen com-
pletely, and we stand in allegiance
with our black brothers and sisters,
committed to change that is long
overdue.
Some days it is difficult to find
hope, but this commencement we
are inspired to think of a brighter
future. Our graduates embody the
possibility of days yet to come. We
celebrate them this month.
