LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT It Is Your Time In the commencement address I gave last December, I spoke to our University of North Dakota graduates about how future events might affect their lives and why their education equipped them to face the challenges ahead. Little did I know – a mere three months later – the COVID-19 pandemic would create a worldwide healthcare crisis few predicted. This is not what I or any of you expected as we went into 2020. Commencement should be about celebrating and recognizing your achievements and accomplishments. You’ve earned it. You deserve it. Springtime at UND is normally about experiencing joyous times with family members and the friends you’ve made here. Unfortunately, the coronavirus has potentially put your plans, your dreams and your future on hold. Many of you probably have grandparents or great grandparents who belonged to what’s now called America’s Greatest Generation. They lived through the Dust Bowl years and the Great Depression of the 1930s. Then, as young men and women, they were confronted by World War II in the 1940s. They not only created the Arsenal of Democracy that turned the tide of the war, but they also went across the Atlantic and Pacific oceans to defeat tyranny, and then turned the United States into an economic superpower and leader of the free world. Members of the Greatest Generation weren’t born knowing the hand they’d been dealt. They didn’t know that, one day, their generation would be heralded for rising to the challenge of overcoming tremendous adversity. Yet they displayed a level of resilience, resourcefulness and character that’s come to define their generation. There’s an old saying that time heals all wounds. Perhaps many of you in UND’s Class of 2020 are feeling a sense of anguish, loss and uncertainty at having been wounded by events beyond your control. Currently, we don’t know the full consequences of this pandemic, nor do we know exactly when it will end. Time alone won’t heal the wounds of derailed plans, severe economic disruption, financial hardship and the emotional scars that often accompany prolonged periods of stressful living. What matters most is how we make use of the time after the coronavirus pandemic subsides. As graduates of the University of North Dakota Class of 2020, you are unique. You will determine how your generation is defined by these events. You will have the opportunity to gain the insight necessary to benefit from the lessons we learn. You will discover your ability to cope with the unexpected challenges life throws your way is greater than you ever imagined. Your education, your creativity and your ingenuity will lead to needed solutions. I strongly believe this year’s graduating class will be remembered for how it responded to the coronavirus outbreak of 2020 because our University – your University – produces exceptional leaders in so many different fields. It’s your time to display the resilience, resourcefulness and character that has instilled greatness on other generations before you. It’s your time to make a difference. Thank you for your patience and the strength you’ve shown as we’ve tackled this unprecedented challenge together.
Joshua Wynne, M.D., M.B.A., M.P.H. President

First Generation Cords Students who are the first in their immediate family to graduate with a four-year degree from a college or university are recognized and honored at UND. The multi-

For the purpose of the commencement program and publication, honors are based on the UND grade point average at the end of the previously completed term. Once final semester grades are recorded and the degree has been cleared by the college, grade point averages are recalculated and final graduation honors are recorded to the transcript and diploma.
Special Notices The awarding of degrees and academic distinctions listed in this program is contingent upon successful completion of the various program requirements. Commencement ceremonies at UND are planned through the Office of Ceremonies & University Events. The University of North Dakota is an equal opportunity/ affirmative action institution. For more information on equal opportunity policies and procedures, see UND catalogs and other major printed pieces.

The First Commencement The following is excerpted from University of the Northern Plains, the history of the University of North Dakota written by Louis G. Geiger and published in 1958 as part of the University’s 75th anniversary celebration. A major milestone in student affairs, as well as in the University’s history, was the graduation of the first college class in 1889. A faculty committee was appointed in February to plan the exercises. In April the student body met and chose the school colors, the pink and green of the prairie rose, “suggestive of our green prairies and rosy prospects.” On June 13, a cool, fair day, the ceremony began at ten o’clock in the University assembly hall, which had been decorated with flags and flowers and a large “89” centerpiece. A capacity crowd of students and spectators (perhaps as many as 250) was on hand as the graduates — “the ladies … dressed in white” and “the gentlemen … neatly attired” — marched to their places on the stage to the accompaniment of music by [W. W.] Hall’s Cadet Band. Special guests were the Regents, H. M. Mellette, governor of the Territory, several other territorial officials [North Dakota did not attain statehood until November 2, 1889], and Nehemiah Ordway, who as governor had signed the organic act of the University. [President Homer B.] Sprague presided and introduced the speakers. Mellette observed that it was a “Red River letter day.” Ordway spoke with pride and feeling on the University’s founding. One of the Regents relieved the occasion with a touch of unconscious humor when he explained: “As to the faculty we have done the best we could with the money at hand.” Following the official commemoration of the occasion, the main part of the program began; there were essays and orations presented by each of the eight graduates, six from the college and two from the four-year normal course; Frances M. Allen (B.A.), Clinton S. DeGroat (B.S.), Ben E. Ingwaldson (B.S.), Cora Smith (B.S.), Marie Teel (B.S.), May Travis (B.A.), and Genevieve Arnold
The Main Building and Ladies’ Hall (later Davis Hall)
The University of North Dakota graduated its first class on June 13, 1889. Seated: Frances M. Allen, B.A.; May Travis, B.A.; Genevieve Arnold, Normal Certificate; and Marie Teel, B.S. Standing: Irene Mares, Normal Certificate; Clinton S. DeGroat, B.S.; Cora Smith, B.S., and Ben E. Ingwaldson, B.S.
and Irene Mares (normal certificates). The orations, on current as well as literary and moral subjects, were printed in full in the Grand Forks newspapers. Three of the college graduates were from Grand Forks; none had come from farther than Hillsboro. Not one had been born in North Dakota; Ben Ingwaldson had been born in Norway. In the class of 1890, of seven college graduates, four were from Grand Forks, three were women, and six took the science degree. A considerable proportion of the early graduates entered medicine, law, or teaching. Cora Smith, a member of the first class, took a degree in medicine at Boston University; Mary Crans of the second class completed the course in dentistry at the University of Michigan. Ben Ingwaldson went on to the University of Minnesota law school. North Dakota’s first appointee to West Point, Joseph Travis, graduated in the class of 1890.
Congratulations and Best Wishes The University of North Dakota is proud to recognize the accomplishments of its graduates and to extend best wishes to them, their families and loved ones.
