While most colleges and universities across the country canceled their 2020 spring commencements, Westminster remained committed to providing a day of celebration for the Class of 2020 when it was finally safe to do so. That day—Saturday, Aug. 1—may have been a rainy one, but it was also a day filled with joy.

‘Frontline’ workers

We would be remiss if we didn’t give a shout-out to some very important people on our campus this fall: our pandemic “frontline” workers, so to speak. From our Physical Plant employees keeping our campus sanitized to
our Wellness Center staff working with possible COVID cases, these members of our campus community exemplify what it means to be Titan Strong. We appreciate you!
