ATHENS, W.Va. – Concord University honored the Spring 2020 graduating class during a history-making virtual commencement today (Saturday, May 9, 2020). This format was utilized due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“While we are unable to celebrate your graduation in our typical way, your accomplishments have not diminished in importance in any way,” President Kendra Boggess said in her welcoming remarks. “We are here because of you, the amazing, resilient, the flexible Class of 2020. And even though we are gathering virtual for the first time in our 148-year history, you deserve this moment to commemorate all that you have achieved. 

“Graduates of Concord are resilient. You have shown that this semester. You’ve accomplished this milestone under extremely challenging circumstances, and I am proud of every single one of you. Today is a time to celebrate all that you’ve done and all that you’ll continue to do as Concord University alumni,” Dr. Boggess said.

The event marked the 145th Spring Commencement for Concord, and featured a morning ceremony at 10 a.m. and an afternoon ceremony at 2 p.m. Both ceremonies could be viewed on the CU YouTube Channel, Facebook and by following the link that was provided on Concord’s webpage. 

Among the 312 applicants for graduation, 78 graduate candidates and 234 undergraduate candidates meeting requirements for graduation were honored. Ninety-nine individuals graduated with honors and four received field honors. Six veterans are among the candidates for graduation.

Along with West Virginia, states represented by the candidates for graduation include Alabama, Delaware, Florida, Maryland, Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Virginia. The countries represented include the United States, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ethiopia, Hong Kong, Nigeria, Rwanda, Ukraine and United Kingdom.

The Spring 2020 class has three valedictorians:  Kandace Eileene Barnette of Princeton, W.Va.;  Tanner Bret Cantley of Glen Daniel, W.Va.; and Samantha Ann Franks of Lewisburg, W.Va.

Barnette received a Bachelor of Science in Education degree Summa Cum Laude. Her field of study was Elementary K-6. Cantley received a Bachelor of Science degree, Summa Cum Laude. His major was Biology (Molecular). Franks received a Bachelor of Science degree Summa Cum Laude. Her major was Biology (Molecular) and her minor was Neuroscience.

Cantley and Franks offered their valedictory addresses during the morning ceremony. While acknowledging the sacrifices made by the Class of 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, Franks also spoke of what she and her classmates have learned.

“Because of COVID-19, we have been forced to grow in compassion, forgiveness and selflessness, giving up our time and plans for the health of our families. We have learned to work toward a common goal, to protect and provide for others,” Franks said. “And, we have been trained to intelligently confront the inexplicable problems that are intertwined within our society.”

“So much of this is what we have already been exposed to at Concord,” she said. “So, take ahold of the knowledge you have gained at Concord, and the mentorship of your professors, coaches and the wonderful staff in these facilities and convert that knowledge into wisdom, refined by trials, and let that grow your character. Let your conduct be the manifestation of your thanks.”

Cantley filled his remarks with words of thanks to those who have helped him in his educational journey. 

“I want to thank all those that paved the way for me to be where I am today,” he said. “Both of my grandfathers were coal miners and pastors who worked very long and hard hours for families they loved. Both of my grandmothers were stay-at-home moms who worked extremely hard as well. Just like my grandparents, my parents grew up to teach me the values of discipline and hard work.”

“For their lessons and endless love and prayers, I want to say thank you to my entire family,” he said.

He also thanked his closest friends for “laughs and all the long study group sessions” and acknowledged the contributions of his professors.

“To the entire Biology Department and Pre-Health Committee, I give thanks. If it weren’t for your honest advice, patience and efforts, I would not have been accepted into medical school,” he said.

In her valedictory address during the afternoon ceremony, Barnette said, “We have made it to the day that we have long been waiting for. We have written the conclusion to our collegiate story and are now eagerly anticipating the introduction to the next story in our lives.”

“Throughout these years at Concord, all of our stories have changed,” she said.  “We each have had our fair share of plot twists ….”

In the process of navigating “all those twists, turns, loops and curves”, she says the Class of 2020 has “learned to embrace the challenge before us, ask questions until we are certain, put our knowledge to the test, and not be afraid to seek … from those who are wiser.”

“We have discovered the critical necessity of hard work, determination, perseverance, and support of our loved ones to complete any worthwhile tasks,” she said. “So I encourage you, Class of 2020, never lose faith in yourself, expand your knowledge of the world, share your values and passions and keep writing a better story.”

The 10 a.m. ceremony recognized candidates for graduation from the College of Fine Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences which includes the Department of Fine Arts, Department of Humanities, and Department of Social Sciences as well as candidates from the College of Natural Sciences, Mathematics and Health which includes the Master of Arts in Health Promotion, Department of Biology, Department of Physical Sciences, Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, and Department of Health Sciences. Also honored in the morning ceremony were candidates in Interdisciplinary Studies and those receiving the Regents Bachelor of Arts degree.

The 2 p.m. ceremony recognized candidates for graduation from the College of Professional Studies which includes the Master of Arts in Teaching, Master of Education and Master of Social Work and candidates from the Department of Business and Recreation and Tourism Management, Department of Communication Arts and Media, Department of Education, and Department of Social Work and Sociology.

Each graduate had the opportunity to submit a video clip or photographs for a personalized slide that was shown as their name and degree were announced by Dr. Peter Viscusi, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs. All members of the Spring 2020 class have been invited to return to campus to march in Concord’s Fall 2020 commencement ceremony.

Dr. Susan Robinett, Department Chair and Professor of Business, served as Grand Marshal. Greetings from the Concord University Board of Governors were delivered by Mr. David Barnette, chair of the Board of Governors. Dr. William Williams, faculty president, offered greetings on behalf of the faculty. Greetings from the Alumni Association were brought by Mrs. Susan Tuck, president of the Alumni Association. Ms. Taylor Carter, president of the Student Government Association, delivered greetings from the Student Government Association. Faculty and staff shared congratulations with the graduates through video messages.
