CLASS OF 2020!
Julie C. Hayes
Former Dean Julie C. Hayes's address to the Class of 2020.
You've Got This!
The College of Humanities and Fine Arts brings together scholars and artists from a wide range of disciplines, but we all share common traits. You are the makers, the storytellers, the visionaries, the thinkers. You know that big ideas have the power to change the world. You are driven to intepret our past, examine our present, contemplate tomorrow, and understand what makes humankind tick. You believe in the values of justice, compassion, beauty, and hope.
More than ever, the world needs you. We couldn't be prouder of the HFA Class of 2020, and we can't wait to see what you accomplish.
Below, we've gathered video messages from department chairs and program directors. Scroll down to click through to your major (or majors), where you will hear their well-wishes and be listed among your fellow seniors.
