Spring 2020: A semester to remember

Pandemic shuts down campus, postpones graduation

Shippensburg University moved all courses online in mid March leaving the campus empty. Online learning and social distancing became the norm as campus community members “did their part” by staying home.

University officials eventually canceled the traditional May commencement ceremony. The class of 2020 graduates celebrated their achievements in a “drive-in” ceremony Aug. 1.

Shippensburg University celebrates class of 2020 in ‘drive-in’ ceremony Hannah Pollock Editor-in-Chief

Members of the class of 2020 finally returned to campus Aug. 1 to celebrate their graduation almost three months after their original scheduled commencement ceremony was postponed.

Restrictions and guidelines due to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic delayed the ceremony. The event was originally scheduled for May 9 in Seth Grove Stadium.

Unlike previous commencement ceremonies, graduates spent most of their time with their families in their cars parked in the ShipRec commuter and storage parking lots.

However, some aspects of the ceremony were normal.

A smaller group of faculty and administrators processed behind mace bearer and music professor Blaine Shover to the tune “Pomp and Circumstance” before finding their socially distanced seats.

Campus Minister the Rev. Jan Bye offered a prayer after a recording of the national anthem.

Michael Ross, SU Council of Trustees chair, delivered his annual speech to graduates and their families.

“Wow. This is exactly how

you all pictured your graduation when you started your Ship journey,” Ross said looking into the vehicle-filled lot. “A drive-thru graduation.”

“I suggested that we give you an Egg McMuffin with your diploma but that idea was killed by the organizing committee,” he said.

Ross emphasized that the class of 2020 has the most memorable and unique graduation in the school’s 149year history.

Student Government Association (SGA) 2019-20 President Aven Bittinger reminded students that not even a global pandemic can take away their achievements.

“As we celebrate today, let us use our experiences from Shippensburg to move forward in life, unabashed by our convictions and tackle these problems head on,” Bittinger said. “With our education, let us leave the world better than we found it.”

SU President Laurie Carter addressed the parking lot of graduates and their families, explaining their accomplishments are no less significant despite the unfamiliar ceremony.

Carter said she shared a quote with graduates in Dec. 2019 that applied to them but is now more applicable to

Shippensburg University held a “drive-in” style graduation to maintain social distance amid the pandemic. the class of 2020.

“Do not wait until the conditions are perfect to begin.

Beginning makes the conditions perfect,” Carter said.

“How naive our view of imperfect conditions was in December 2019.”

She spoke about the importance of perspective when celebrating successes or facing challenges in life.

Carter referred to studies where researchers found Olympic bronze medalists were often happier with their medals than silver medalists.

Carter said the bronze medalists came from a reference point of gratitude that they made it to the platform.

However, silver medalists were disappointed they missed the gold.

The Slate Speaks: From graduates, ‘Ship, this isn’t it.’

In the midst of a pandemic, Shippensburg University is offering a consolation prize to a senior class which has given up many of its “lasts:” A commencement ceremony in its commuter parking lot.

In the days leading up to the original graduation date of May 9, SU seniors received impersonal video messages from administrators, emails marketing graduate school to new grads, and pleas for donations from the SU Foundation. One or two uncomfortable videos circulated of people dancing in “Ship Socks” — a donation perk for sending money back to the university. One email from the Alumni Association, sent May 8, beckons seniors to get involved as alumni.

The next week, on May 14, seniors received an email informing them their SU email address will be deactivated after graduation.

As bittersweet and sometimes tonedeaf these emails are to graduating seniors every year, this year they stung in a very different kind of way.

The class of 2020, after all, would not bring their college careers full-circle and achieve closure on May 9. They would not walk away from Seth Grove Stadium graduates of Shippensburg University. In fact, on the originally planned commencement date, the class of 2020 received no recognition. No email, no phone call. Social media posts consisted of content reposted from graduates or other people.

The week before graduation, President Carter sent a video message to seniors congratulating them on making it to the last week, and urging them to persevere through finals week. After that, nothing.

“So this is it?” many of us were left asking.

Almost two months later, the university sent out an email and social media posts announcing its plans to celebrate the class of 2020. Graduates and their families would roll up in vehicles, exit the vehicle alone and then walk across a parking lot near the edge of the campus to receive their scroll. Then, they would

pose for a photo taken by a professional photographer, which they would have to pay for and walk “off-stage,” or rather parking lot into an uncertain future.

It seemed that after some public feedback, the university decided a family member would be permitted to exit the vehicle and line up parallel to the graduate to also take a photo.

As students, we cannot expect a normal graduation ceremony; we cannot let our expectations go unaltered in the face of a pandemic that is ravaging our communities.

We need to understand and be patient with the fact that the university is putting out more fires than we could possibly know. But at the same time, SU has developed a reputation of under performing at communication. The message students see is often tone-deaf and without sincerity; it is often too little, too late. It is a trend that will unweave the fabric of what makes SU great if it is not addressed internally.

We, The Slate 2020 Seniors, want to know what member or members of our estranged class recommended we celebrate a dignified milestone such as commencement in a dirty parking lot.

“We heard from our seniors” is not the same as “Two or three student leaders affirmed a half thought-out plan.”

Did the senior class vote or select those who suggested a “drive-thru” graduation? Those in Old Main need to consider that their hand-picked student advisers do not necessarily represent the entire student body; in this matter and all other matters.

There were many different options for the university to celebrate its hard-working seniors. Socially distancing chairs in Seth Grove Stadium and requiring masks would not be impossible, especially if the three colleges graduated at different times or on different days.

Live-streaming speeches from President Laurie Carter and other notables May 9 would have touched many. An email acknowledging that we completed our coursework and earned our de-

grees would have been great. Occasional email updates letting us know that we were not forgotten about and that plans are in motion would have gone a long way. It is rude to leave a Raider hanging.

The move into online and remote instruction in March was sudden. However, the administration knew graduation was coming. There was no surprise.

The absence of this communication was emotionally difficult, as was seeing solicitations for dumping more money into the institution for graduate school, or for foundation donations.

We understand the university is marketing its graduate programs and alumni network but officials need to “read the room.”

It is especially telling that in SU’s June 29 announcement that it would host a commencement ceremony around a month later, the university slid in at the end, “While browsing [for your cap and gown] check out the great alumni gear!”

College students are not made of money. Put the focus on the students and not the dollar signs.

The lack of communication, degree of marketing ploys and finally, the last-minute announcement of a consolation commencement projects the message that the university is done with its “old” students. It tells us that they want to rinse their hands of the last school year and focus on overcoming its looming financial hurdles for fall 2020. Take a look at all the happy stories posted on their social media about why Shippensburg is great. We are a footnote.

Four of the nine class of 2020 seniors graduating from The Slate are attending the ceremony. Some of us will take what we can get. One cannot attend because of health conditions that put the risk too high. A few live too far away to justify the trip. Others have already accepted the situation and have moved on.

The university has finished collecting our money, and we received our piece of paper in the mail. Is that all there is to it?

“Take the imperfect conditions of the moment and stand on the bronze platform,” Carter said.

A flood of vehicle horns filled the air as SU officials conferred the degrees of graduates from the John L. Grove College of Business, College of Education and Human Services and the College of Arts and Sciences.

Graduates then departed their vehicles and walked along the stage as a university official read their name before receiving a scroll and an elbow bump from another official. One friend or family member accompanied the graduate to the stage area to take photos of his or her graduate.

Tribute to the Class of 2020

This group of graduates had an unconventional end to their collegiate careers.

Members of the class of 2020 finally returned to campus Aug. 1 to celebrate their graduation almost three months after their original scheduled commencement ceremony was postponed. The event was originally scheduled for May 9 in Seth Grove Stadium. However, many graduates were unable

to attend because of distance, health concerns or a personal decision not to return to campus.

Unlike previous commencement ceremonies, graduates spent most of their time with their families in their cars parked in the ShipRec commuter and storage parking lots.

Instead of applause, vehicle horns filled the air as graduates received their scrolls from faculty.
