Commencement for the Class of 2020 may be delayed, but we have invited the F&M community to celebrate our most recent graduates NOW with congratulatory messages, photos, videos and activities. In recognizing these Diplomats and their accomplishments, we hope this portal offers another way of coming together in this exceptional time apart.
First, a Look Back
You will sit here again at the end of four years, looking back at your College time, and you will likely experience pride, awe, gratitude, and — if your choices have been off — regret at your use of this unique time. From there, as from here, move forward, take your next step, use your time wisely, and do right. This is your time. It is in your hands.
Lynn Matluck Brooks, the Arthur and Katherine Shadek Humanities Professor, Director of Dance and Don, Brooks College House, speaking at the Class of 2020 Convocation
Remember when?
And now we look before us where there lies
Crest after crest of sloping mountain height,
O'er all the purple haze of days unborn.
A delicately gleaming ray of light
Shines through the mazy mist to lead us on
To new attainments in our widening sphere.
Excerpt from a poem published in The Oriflamme for the Class of 1920
Proud Accomplishments
Phi Beta Kappa Induction
Phi Beta Kappa celebrates and advocates excellence in the liberal arts and sciences. Its campus chapters invite for induction the most outstanding arts and sciences students at America's leading colleges and universities. The Society sponsors activities to advance these studies — the humanities, the social sciences, and the natural sciences — in higher education and in society at large. The F&M Chapter (Theta of PA) was founded in 1908.
