Dear 2020 graduates,
Well, you made it! You will never forget this past year, not just because of COVID-19 or graduating from your psychology graduate program, but because of the determination, will, and effort you have put forth.
Because of the relationships you have developed, the hurdles you have overcome, and the growth you have made, both professionally and personally.
I have been honored to walk this path with you. Congratulations!!!

Congratulations on your accomplishment!!
You have completed a milestone like no other.
Enjoy this time with your family and friends and recognize that you are a continuous learner in your personal and professional journey.
The best to you in the future.

Congratulations on your graduation!
I hope that all of you cherish the fruits of all your hard work.
I wish all of you success in the future and everything that you do.
Congratulations and Happy Graduation!

I hope you feel immense pride for achieving this great accomplishment, especially given the curveball this year has thrown you. As you take the next step in your career, it will be easy to second guess yourself and wonder if you are truly ready. When that happens, trust that it has happened to each person before you and that you would not be at this point if you were not ready and prepared. If that does not work, know that you have an entire community to reach out to when you need encouragement, education, or compassion.
Congratulations to you all!
