  1. \u201cYou\u2019ve Earned This!\u201d was the message that greeted graduates when they first opened their graduation boxes. The full-color boxes designed by the Office of Communications featured a class photo from the Class of 2020\u2019s first days on campus, and their class motto: \u201cHindsight is 2020.\u201d A letter from President Jill Tiefenthaler, programs and awards from Honors Convocation, and a 2020 Commencement ceremony program were included as keepsakes in each box to serve as markers of celebration until the Class of 2020 gathers again next spring for an in-person commencement.<\/li>\n
  2. The Office of Alumni and Family Relations welcomed graduates into the CC alumni community with the gift of a canvas CC Class of 2020 hat.<\/li>\n
  3. While graduates won\u2019t walk the stage in cap and gown until their in-person graduation scheduled for next spring, an official mortarboard and 2020 tassel completed each box.<\/li>\n
  4. Academic departments provided a variety of personalized notes to their graduates as well as departmental gifts ranging from plush germs to art smocks.<\/li>\n
  5. Each box contained a sticker with CC\u2019s updated athletics logo \u2014 Go Tigers!<\/li>\n
  6. A variety of stoles and cords were given out, acknowledging specific involvement in campus programs, as well as the generosity of students who donated to their senior class gift.<\/li>\n
  7. Perhaps most importantly, diplomas cased in official diploma covers signify the completion of degrees, honoring the culmination of each graduate\u2019s hard work and commitment to academic learning.<\/li>\n
  8. Author Jean Case P\u201917 <\/strong>donated and personally signed copies of her book, \u201cBe Fearless,\u201d which contains inspiring stories and lessons especially appropriate for this class, launched in the world at such a challenging time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
