Dear Graduates,

I know that many of you have been patiently awaiting information about how the Psychology department will honor our graduating students in the class of 2020. Unfortunately due to the uncertainties caused by the continuing public health crisis, we have decided the safest course of action is to forego a large public gathering this year.  Instead we are excited to invite you to join the in-person Psychology commencement celebration in May 2021. So please save the to-be-determined date!

In addition, we would like to showcase the Cal Psychology Class of 2020 with an online yearbook. In order to participate in the yearbook, we ask you to first complete the Psychology department exit survey through Qualtrics. This survey provides the department with valuable information about the student experience, course offerings and other ways that we serve undergraduate students.  Even if you do not want to participate in the online yearbook, please do take some time to complete the survey so we can continue to improve our services. Here's a link to the Exit Survey, which will take about 15-20 minutes to complete.

At the end of the exit survey you will be provided a link to access the Google form for the online Psychology Class of 2020 yearbook.  All Google form submissions received by Sunday, May 17 will be included in the launch of the yearbook on Tuesday May 19 at 2pm, when we were previously hoping to be gathered in-person to celebrate.

Finally, we would like to send you a commemorative packet in recognition of your graduation.  In order to send this we'll need to know your mailing address.  Be sure to fill in that section on the Psychology Class of 2020 Google form carefully.

While we're disappointed to have to postpone the in-person ceremony, we hope you will stay connected with the department and join us in May 2021 for the grandest graduation ceremony yet.  We are very proud of your accomplishments and will always think of the Class of 2020  as a resilient and talented group of students and scholars.

Congratulations, Fiat Lux, and Go Bears!
