SOAR 2020 Graduation
Celebration
Congratulations
2020 Graduates!
During these strange times, OSU-OKC and Project SOAR have
come up with creative solutions to unique obstacles. This year,
SOAR celebrated their graduates with a Zoom celebration. We
arranged to have pizza delivered to our graduates and their
families. We celebrated with a video and many of the staff and
student had inspirational words to share.
Project SOAR is always proud of our graduating classes, but
these graduates demonstrated astounding grit and resiliency
by persevering through their final semester during these
extraordinary times.
